Abstract(s)

Purpose/Introduction: To determine the clinical utility of pre-operative diffusion tensor (DT) tractography of the facial nerve in the vicinity of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumours. The location of the facial nerve was established pre-operatively by tractography and compared with in-vivo electrode stimulation during microsurgery of vestibular schwannomas and rare CPA masses (meningiomas and arachnoid cysts).
