Abstrakt:
A vestibular schwannoma is a benign tumor, developing in the inner ear. As it grows, it may affect patient's hearing and body balance. If not treated, it can also lead to death of the patient. Once it becomes a problem, it is surgically removed. During the surgery, there is a high risk that surrounding nerves become harmed (it causes problems with facial movement). This document discusses evaluation of such injury, based on a modern approach of classification using artificial neural network.
