Acoustic Schwannomas constitute 70-80% of cerebello-pontine angle (CP angle) tumors [1]. These tumors arise from the vestibular component of the eighth nerve [2]. The clinical presentation in these cases is usually with tinnitus followed by hearing loss [3]. They may later involve seventh, fifth and lower cranial nerves and cerebellar and brain stem compression syndromes, as the tumor grows. Hydrocephalus due to fourth ventricular distortion is a usual accompaniment of larger CP angle tumors. The surgical extirpation of these lesions was associated with a prohibitive mortality till the era of Harvey Cushing and Dandy [4], who brought down the surgical mortality from 70% to 15%. The morbidity of CP angle tumor surgery remained considerable with facial palsies, often compounded with the corneal anaesthesia due to fifth cranial nerve involvement resulting in corneal ulceration in addition to the cosmetic deformity. With refinements in technology, facial nerve conservation became a reality with many modern series claiming anatomical conservation of the facial nerve in upto 98% of cases and functional conservation in a large percentage of these cases [5]. Conservation of hearing is however rarely achieved even with all available technological innovations and monitoring techniques. We present a case of acoustic schwannoma which presented atypically and in whom hearing could be partially conserved after resection by a retromastoid approach.
