Abstract：Objective To explore the surgical skills for hypervascular acoustic neuroma in young adults. Methods The imaging data of 20 young patients and surgical skills for their hypervascular acoustic neuroma were analyzed retrospectively. Pre-operation facial nerve function was House-Brackmann GradeⅠin 18 cases and GradeⅡin 2. All the tumors were removed by performing one stage surgery. Results Tumors were totally removed in 13 cases and sub-totally in 7. During the operation, the average blood loss was 1200 ml. Post-operation facial nerve function was House-Brackmann GradeⅠ-Ⅱin 8 cases and GradeⅢ-Ⅵin 12. Facial never repair was performed in 3 cases because anatomic integrity was not achieved. Conclusions There is more blood loss in young adults with hypervascular acoustic neuroma during surgery and facial nerve function preservation rate is lower. Tumor can be removed in one-stage surgery with proper skills.
