Özet

Object. In this study, the authors aimed to identify the factors that would predict the operative distance between the trigeminal nerve (fifth cranial nerve) and the acousticofacial nerve complex (seventh-eighth cranial nerves) preoperalively when approaching the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) through the suboccipital retrosigmoid approach.
