Zusammenfassung:	Abstract A 74-year-old man suffered contralateral hearing loss after left acoustic neuroma surgery. Steroid therapy was administered, but no improvement was observed. Contralateral hearing loss is an extremely rare and distressing complication that can occur following acoustic neuroma surgery. Although the mechanism of this rare phenomenon remains unclear, we speculate that in this patient the loss of cerebrospinal fluid or internal auditory artery thrombosis may be involved.
