Abstract
This article describes the treatment of oral complications that arose after surgery for the removal of an acoustic brain tumor. The authors contend that a thorough oral examination can pinpoint the cranial nerv es that have been affected by the tumor or the surgery, and that denta l appliances can offer special protection after surgery.
