Society of British Neurological Surgeons: Symposium on the Results of Operations on Acoustic Neuromas: A Comparison of Results After Intracapsular Enucleation and Total Extirpation of Acoustic Tumours

At its 38th meeting in Trinity College, Dublin, in July, 1948, the Society of British Neurological Surgeons held a symposium on acoustic neuromas.As it was hoped to present the largest number of cases possible, invitations were sent to Dr. Gilbert Horrax (Boston) and Professor Herbert Olivecrona -(Stockholm).The latter was unable to attend .owing to illness but sent his paper which was read for him.Since the figures in these papers added to those given in the subsequent discussion make up totals which have never before been available in the same place, it has been thought desirable to make them accessible to a wider public.
