Abstract
This meeting was held at Marriott's Desert Springs Hotel, Palm Desert, Calif, May 1 through 3, 1995. (2) Using magnetic resonance imaging cross-sectional area to calculate the volume of acoustic neuromas in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2, Mona Abaza, MD , and coauthors, San Antonio, Tex, studied the growth characteristics and associated audiologic parameters of these tumors. While the average growth rate of acoustic neuromas in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 was 0.30 cm/y, the rate was significantly higher in older patients and in patients with spinal tumors. For these two groups, Dr Abaza recommends close follow-up with baseline magnetic resonance imaging and serial audiograms and aggressive treatment. (3) An exciting new computer system designed to quantitatively and objectively assess facial paralysis expresses facial surface deformation as a dimensional variable based on light reflectance changes.
