Preservation of Facial Nerve Function after Postoperative Vasoactive Treatment in Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery

Abstract

The study points to a potential effect of vasoactive treatment for facial nerve function after vestibular schwannoma surgery. In particular, patients with postoperative disfiguring facial nerve palsy clearly benefit from intravenous hydroxyethyl starch and nimodipine with respect to a long-term socially acceptable facial nerve function.
