[Bilateral acoustic neuromas, a report of eight cases (author's transl)]. 1979

J M Sterkers, and K F Hamann

The treatment of bilateral acoustic neuromas is extremely difficult. An earlier diagnosis would give better opportunities to preserve facial and hearing function. We study on eight cases, the initial symptoms and the evolution to stimulate the interest of the E.N.T. specialist of this unrecognized disease.
