Acoustic Neuroma Treatment

Acoustic Neuroma Treatment

Acoustic Neuroma is a non-cancerous tumor that develops on the nerve connecting the inner ear to the brain. Although it grows slowly, it can affect hearing, balance, and facial nerve function if left untreated. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications and preserve neurological function.

Symptoms

The symptoms of Acoustic Neuroma often develop gradually and may vary from person to person. Common signs include hearing loss in one ear, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), dizziness, balance problems, facial numbness, and occasional headaches. As the tumor grows, it may place pressure on nearby structures, leading to additional neurological symptoms.

Types

Acoustic Neuromas are generally classified based on their size and extent of growth. Small tumors may be monitored closely, while larger tumors that affect hearing, balance, or surrounding nerves often require active treatment. Each case is carefully evaluated to determine the most suitable approach.

Treatment and Process

Treatment depends on factors such as tumor size, growth rate, symptoms, and overall health. The process begins with a detailed neurological examination and advanced imaging studies, including MRI scans. For symptomatic or growing tumors, microsurgical removal may be recommended to relieve pressure and prevent further complications. The primary goal is to remove or control the tumor while preserving hearing, facial nerve function, and overall quality of life whenever possible.
