Abstract

Acustic neuroma is the most common bening tumor of cerebellopontine angle which is originated from vestibular portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve. Fourty-Six year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of inability to close her right eye. She had history of a acustic neuroma operation 5 years ago. Her ophthalmic examination revealed right peripheral facial paralysis, right esotropia, underactivity of the left lateral rectus muscle and impaired corneal sensation. Therefore, mid-face lift combined with levator hinge procedure was performed for facial nerve paralysis. Hummelsheim split tendon transfer with Foster modification was performed for abducens paralysis. After these procedures, a satisfactory result was achieved. In this report, acoustic neuroma related eye involvement and its treatment was discussed.
