    AbstractReview of methods which allow intraoperative identifying and monitoring of cochlear and facial nerves in resection of vestibular schwannomas is presented. We describe a case of successful identification and functional preservation of facial and cochlear nerves in a patient with acoustic neuroma. Detailed description of neurophysiological and neurosurgical aspects of surgical technique intended to preserve auditory functions is given. According to some authors, application of intraoperative neurophysiological techniques in surgery of vestibular schwannomas allows to preserve not only anatomical but also functional integrity of neural structures as well.
