Learning objectives
The Course of Otolaryngology IV is part of the Integrated Course of Hearing VI and aims to enable the student to know and understand the essentials of the major neoplastic diseases of the pontocerebellar angle, in particular the acoustic neuroma and Neurofibromatosis 2 students must acquire the ability to use knowledge and understanding in the use of different methods audiometric the aim of providing a proper diagnostic imaging. Furthermore, the ability to use the knowledge and understanding should enable the student to orient himself in the indications in the management of the Auditory brainstem Implant.

Course unit content
The course aims to address the fundamental aspects of instrumental diagnostic audiological and possible prosthetic rehabilitation in neoplastic disease of the pontocerebellar cerebellare.The topics of the lectures are therefore mainly directed to the study of acoustic neuromas and neurofibromatosis 2, in addition to notes on the other neoplastic diseases of the pontocerebellar angle. In particular, they face issues of epidemiology, symptomatology, diagnostic audiometric instrumental, surgical therapy.
