Hearing impairment associated with spinal anesthesia.

abstract：CONCLUSION:Abnormal caloric and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) responses are frequently encountered with a large cerebellopontine angle (CPA) schwannoma, while normal caloric responses and abnormal VEMPs are noted with a large CPA meningioma. This difference may possibly exist because schwannoma causes ves...
