Mr. Chen, 54, told reporters that six months ago, he had tinnitus symptoms in his right ear, and gradually found that his hearing in the right ear decreased until he could not hear at all, and in recent times, he also had frequent dizziness. After going to the local hospital for examination, it was suspected that it was caused by an auditory neuroma, but because of hospital conditions, on August 31, Mr. Chen was referred to the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University for consultation. After examination, the doctor confirmed that it was an auditory neuroma, but fortunately it was found early and the tumor was only 1 cm in diameter. Yin Shihua, director of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, said that auditory neuroma grows in the patient’s cranial brain and compresses the internal auditory canal causing hearing loss or deafness. If the tumor is not treated in time and allowed to grow, it may even compress the brain tissue and raise the intracranial blood pressure, causing headache and nausea, which can be life-threatening. Yin Shihua said that surgery is the preferred treatment for auditory neuroma, and the effect of surgery is very good. However, surgery requires a high level of skill. In addition to the brain stem and cerebellum, there are numerous cranial nerves running through the area, including many important blood vessels and their branches. With so many important structures encircling the tumor, the pressure and adhesions from the tumor make the surgery of auditory neuroma extremely risky, which is also a landmark and difficult surgery in otology. According to Yin, a surgeon who can perform an auditory neuroma surgery must have neurosurgical skills, microsurgical skills and otologic surgical skills. Only a surgeon who has reached the “three-in-one” technical level can remove the tumor and protect the patient’s safety to the greatest extent possible. On September 22, Yin performed the surgery on Mr. Chen, carefully removing the tumor from the tangle of many blood vessels and nerves, and on September 28, one week after the surgery, Mr. Chen recovered well, with no discomfort, and was very satisfied with the surgery. Yin said that although the surgery was successful, Mr. Chen’s right auditory nerve had been damaged and hearing could not be restored, but the surgery provided a guarantee for Mr. Chen’s subsequent life safety. Yin Shihua reminded that the incidence of auditory neuroma is not low and has a great impact on health. Early detection and treatment is the key, and if tinnitus and hearing loss occur, one should seek immediate medical attention from a specialist.
