Abstract:
At present, most scholars have found that majority of acoustic neuromas are subarachnoid tumors, and extra-arachnoid tumors are rare. However, with the further study of the membranous structures of the acoustic neuromas, it has been found that the membrane structures of the surface of the acoustic neuromas may be composed of arachnoid membrane, vestibular nerve membrane, degraded vestibular nerve fibers, and dural fibrous tissues. Combined with the characteristics of membrane structure of the acoustic neuromas, it is very important to adopt appropriate surgical strategies to perform micromanipulation on tumor resection and nerve function preservation. This article reviews the characteristics of the membrane structures of the acoustic neuromas and their surgical treatment, and proposes the role of the membrane structure in surgery.
