HEARING PRESERVATION MIDDLE FOSSA APPROACH FOR INTRACANALICULAR VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA IN A NF2 PATIENT
Hearing preservation is a cornerstone in the management of intracanalicular vestibular schwannomas. This video demonstrates a middle fossa approach to an intracanalicular schwannoma and highlights some technical and anatomical nuances relevant to the procedure. The patient had sustained hearing preservation in the postoperative period. There are potential benefits in favor of the middle fossa when the tumor reaches the fundus of the internal auditory canal, but the surgeon’s individual experience plays a decisive role in the choice of approach.

Acoustic Neuroma Case Study and Video Testimonial
Published Monday June 24th, 2019
This 35 year old patient came in to The Center for Acoustic Neuroma with right sided hearing loss and tinnitus that was progressively getting worse. He had recent MRI showing a nearly 3 cm right Acoustic Neuroma.
We reviewed the various options to manage the tumor, and elected to proceed with surgical resection. He was taken to the operating room where he underwent a translabyrinthine approach to the acoustic neuroma.
The tumor was resected with 100% removal of the tumor. The facial nerve was protected during the entire surgery and stimulated well at the conclusion of the case.
Patient awoke with normal facial function.
He was discharged home 2 days after the surgery and has done quite well.

Our Doctors See Increase in Ear Tumor Cases
Published Friday, Apr 6, 2018
Hearing loss can be caused by a number of things, but don't assume it just comes with old age. Doctors say they're seeing more and more cases of ear tumors called acoustic neuroma.
Dr. Yoav Hahn has been recognized in D Magazine's Best Doctors
D Magazine’s is confidential poll that sent to about 6,000 local doctors in several specialties. About 2,000 of those surveyed were general practitioners, internists, and family practice physicians—those who typically make recommendations and referrals. We asked them to name two doctors they would send their patients or loved ones to in each of the 39 specialties. We also made the ballot available online at www.dmagazine.com so doctors not included in our polling could vote. Only those with a valid Texas medical license were eligible.
