| pubmed-article:8414567 | pubmed:abstractText | A conservative approach to the management of acoustic neuromas in elderly patients has been used since 1971. Elderly patients without symptoms of brain stem compression are initially treated by observation and yearly radiographic imaging. A translabyrinthine radical-subtotal resection is performed if brain stem compression is present or if tumor is growing rapidly. Twenty-three patients, ages 65 to 86 years, had initial nonsurgical management of their tumors. Growth rates could be determined for 16 patients. Thirteen patients not requiring surgery had an average tumor growth rate of 0.6 mm/yr. Three patients with an average growth rate of 6.8 mm/yr eventually required surgery. No patient whose tumor was < 15 mm at initial evaluation has experienced brain stem symptoms or demonstrated rapid tumor growth. Twenty-four patients ages 65 to 86 years underwent planned subtotal tumor excision. Eighteen patients followed postoperatively for more than 1 year demonstrated an average rate of regrowth of tumor of 0.7 mm/yr. | lld:pubmed |
