Cost comparison of auditory brainstem response versus magnetic resonance imaging screening of acoustic neuroma.
Abstract
The cost-effectiveness of current diagnostic approaches employed in patients with suspected acoustic neuroma was evaluated. Currently, patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of acoustic neuroma, such as sudden unilateral hearing loss and/or tinnitus, undergo auditory brainstem response (ABR) screening tests to rule out this condition. If the ABR is normal, acoustic neuroma can be ruled out. However, if the ABR is abnormal, magnetic …
