acoustic nerve

Any disease or injury that damages the acoustic nerve can cause vertigo.

The electrodes record the electrical activity from the acoustic nerve and in other parts of the brain involved in hearing.

Electronystagmography is performed to evaluate the acoustic nerve, which provides hearing and helps with balance.

It transmits the facial and acoustic nerves and the internal auditory branch of the basilar artery.

OUR EARS 257 The acoustic nerve leads from the cochlea.

For that reason it is frequently called the acoustic nerve ("hear" G), or auditory nerve ("hear" L).

The bone overlying the acoustic nerve is removed, allowing the tumour to expand upward into the middle cranial fossa.

Also an autosomal dominant disorder, NF2 is primarily characterized by benign tumors of both acoustic nerves, leading to progressive hearing loss.

Section of the facial and acoustic nerves within internal acoustic meatus (the separation between them is not apparent in the section)

He developed the middle fossa approach and perfected the translabyrinthine approach and began to use these techniques to remove acoustic nerve tumors.

Damage to the vestibular portion of the acoustic nerve (the nerve of the inner ear) is one of the more common causes of vertigo.

Acoustic nerve: 90% of the patients show bilateral acoustic Schwannomas on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The eardrum vibrates, and those vibrations enter the inner ear, where they stimulate nerve cells to create signals that travel along the acoustic nerve to the brain.

The osseous spiral lamina consists of two plates of bone, and between these are the canals for the transmission of the filaments of the acoustic nerve.

Domenico Cotugno discovered that the membranous labyrinth contains fluid, the endolymph, and on its walls the ramifications of the acoustic nerve are distributed.

The cochlear nerve (also auditory or acoustic nerve) is a nerve in the head that carries signals from the cochlea of the inner ear to the brain.

Thus the surgical mortality rate in Bucharest fell from 50% to 2-6% for acoustic nerve neuroma and from 49% to 3% for intracerebral aneurysm cases.

Its anterior part exhibits an oval thickening, the macula of saccule (or saccular macula), to which are distributed the saccular filaments of the acoustic nerve.

The rudiment of the acoustic nerve appears about the end of the third week as a group of ganglion cells closely applied to the cephalic edge of the auditory vesicle.

PHANTOM's translation was piped into his left acoustic nerve; the other ear heard nothing--even a room this size full of raucous Ibs would be dead silent.

Until this technology was developed, the best way to test a baby's hearing was by attaching electrodes to his or her head and measuring electrical activity in the acoustic nerve and elsewhere in the brain.

The first direct stimulation of an acoustic nerve with an electrode was performed in the 1950s by the English-Indian surgeons Baz Da Rana and Sonesh Dee.

ABR (aka BSEP, BSER, BAEP, etc.) is used for monitoring of the acoustic nerve during acoustic neuroma and brainstem tumor resections.

In 1988 at the age of 35, Jon suddenly developed tinnitus, a ringing in the ears caused by a blood vessel in his head pushing against an acoustic nerve, as well as hyperacusis, an over-sensitivity to certain frequency ranges of sound.

That portion which is lodged in the recess forms a pouch or cul-de-sac, the floor and anterior wall of which are thickened and form the macula acustica utriculi, which receives the utricular filaments of the acoustic nerve.
