To investigate whether acoustic neuroma is associated with noise. PubMed, Cochrane, Embase and CINAHL databases were searched. A meta-analysis was performed to calculate odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using quality-effect models. A total of eight studies with moderate or high quality involving 75,571 participants met the inclusion criteria. There was no significant relationship between overall noise exposure and acoustic neuroma (OR:1.02, 95% CI: 0.64-1.63). However, further subgroup analysis showed that leisure noise exposure (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.10-2.73), above five years' exposure (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.14-2.85) and continuous exposure (OR:2.77, 95% CI: 1.70-4.49) were associated with an increased risk of acoustic neuroma. These results suggest an elevated risk of acoustic neuroma among individuals who have been exposed to occupational noise when some subgroup analysis are conducted. Leisure noise in particular seems to play a significant role in the development of acoustic neuroma. However, due to the heterogeneity among the included studies, this conclusion should be interpreted with cautions, even though the continuous long-term consequences should not be ignored.

Fully endoscopic neurosurgery using a two-handed technique for cerebellopontine angle tumors via the retrosigmoid approach.
Front Oncol

Department of Neurosurgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China.
Background: Surgery for tumors in the cerebellopontine angle is always a significant challenge due to the densely packed neurovascular structures, the narrow deep location, and the complex relationship between the lesions and surrounding neurovascular structures. Recently, great attention has been given to the neuroendoscope for its exclusive advantages, which have added a new dimension to many classical microscopic surgeries. However, the feasibility and advisability of fully endoscopic neurosurgery for cerebellopontine angle tumors remain to be further evaluated.

Objective: Excessively prescribed opioids promote chronic drug abuse and worsen a highly prevalent public health problem in the era of the opioid epidemic. This study aimed to (a) determine general analgesic prescription patterns after surgery for vestibular schwannoma (VS) with a focus on opioid prescription rates, (b) identify risk factors for receiving narcotics for postoperative pain management, and (c) highlight the feasibility of opioid-free analgesic treatment strategies.

Background: Intracochlear schwannomas (ICSs) are a subtype of intralabyrinthine schwannomas, completely located in the cochlear lumen. ICSs are particularly rare in the pediatric population. Putative diagnosis is made on the basis of magnetic resonance findings with signal characteristics that should remain the same at follow-up imaging.
