dc.description.abstractSelective microsurgical vestibular neurectomy (SMVN) is an accepted and effective means of treating patients with intractable vertigo, a resistant component of Meniere's syndrome. Meniere's syndrome is a condition characterized by fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus and serious vertigo attacks. Vertigo is the most disabling symptom of the disease. There may be permanent hearing loss in untreated cases and vertigo may continue after deafness. Selective microsurgical vestibular neurectomy is an elite surgical procedure providing exact relief from vertigo while protecting the preoperative hearing level. In this report, clinical results of nine patients with intractable vertigo operated in the University of Ankara Medical Faculty, Department of Neurosurgery between 1999 and 2001 are discussed. Accordingly, we aimed to represent the landmarks often required for microsurgical exposure. From this study we conclude that SMVN is an effective neurosurgical procedure for those patients who are resistant for medical treatment and require hearing preservation.en_US
