OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of transtympanic electrocochleography (TT-ECochG) analyzed on-line by a detector strategy software that made possible automatic extraction of TT-ECochG components intraoperatively in real-time domain. METHODS Fifteen patients with cerebellopontine angle tumor among 50 patients were included in this study. METHODS All subjects were operated on via middle fossa or retrosigmoid approach. Pure-tone average (PTA) was measured at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 kHz, and calculations were performed before and after surgery. Auditory function was monitored intraoperatively via TT-ECochG, and analyzed data were displayed on-line. METHODS TT-ECochG changes in morphology were described. Postoperative PTA elevation level correlated with TT-ECochG morphology changes occurring intraoperatively. RESULTS Analyzed on-line, TT-ECochG data were displayed as first negative peak of compound action potential amplitude and latency in time domain every 3 to 5 seconds. A good correlation between postoperative PTA elevation and TT-ECochG morphology changes was showed (Spearman rank test, R = +0.93; t(N-2) = 9.00; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS TT-EcochG seemed to effectively mirror even minimal changes in auditory function during intraoperative monitoring in real-time domain. Developed strategy of on-line analysis makes the intraoperative hearing status assessment faster and easier.

D002528 Cerebellar Neoplasms Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs.
