RESUMO
In a retrospective case study of a patient with a right-sided cerebellopontine angle mass lesion, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions were robustly present despite a severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss and abnormal auditory brainstem response. These results were interpreted as suggestive of a neural site of lesion, and the potential for planned, preserved, or improved hearing by a suboccipital surgical craniotomy was considered. A gross total resection was successful. Three years postoperatively, the patient has normal hearing sensitivity and word recognition ability.
