OBJECT: We present our experience with surgery of @entity1653 with special consideration of clinical presentation, surgical technique, complications, and outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective study includes three @entity1 with @entity1653 treated by the senior author between January 2005 and December 2010. The initial symptom for which they sought medical help was decreased hearing. In all of the @entity1 there had been no other @entity16 before surgery. The transcondylar approach with sigmoid sinus ligation at jugular bulb was suitable in each case. RESULTS: No @entity204 occurred in this series. All of the @entity1 deteriorated after surgery mainly due to the new lower @entity129 occurred. The @entity129 had improved considerably at the last follow-up examination but no @entity1 fully recovered. Two of three @entity1 with preoperatively impaired yet functional hearing deteriorated after surgery with no subsequent cranial nerve @entity797 function improvement. In one case postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery was performed due to non-radical @entity5 resection (Simpson Grade IV) and @entity5 remnant proved stable in the 4-year follow-up. None of the @entity1 have shown signs of @entity5 recurrence in the mean follow-up period of 56 months. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1653 represent one of the rarest subgroups of @entity1653 and their surgical treatment is associated with significant risk of permanent @entity129 .
