Acoustic neuromas are benign schwannomas that arise from the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. Small tumors confined to the internal auditory canal may be removed via an extradural subtemporal approach. Tumors that involve the cerebellopontine angle require posterior fossa craniotomy utilizing either the suboccipital or translabyrinthine ...

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2002
Patients with acoustic neuromas have several treatment options that include observation, surgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, and fractionated radiotherapy. Resection is indicated for patients with larger tumors that have caused major neurologic deficits from brain compression.

To present the clinical features, the diagnostic methods, and the techniques and results of surgical removal of acoustic neuromas, and to illustrate the lowered mortality and morbidity derived from improved imaging and the improved surgical results from a teamwork approach.We review our consecutive series of 106 patients undergoing 119 operations for ...

A negative high-quality, high-resolution, contrast-enhanced MRI scan is excellent evidence that a patient does not have an AN. Most nerve sheath tumors have a characteristic appearance, and when a tumor is detected there is seldom any doubt as to the identity of the lesion.

Abstract The acquistion and application of new techniques in diagnostic screening have changed the approach to patients with suspected acoustic neuroma. In this paper, we review the extensive recent literature on acoustic tumors and present a critical analysis of the various diagnostic investigations.

When is an acoustic neuroma not an acoustic neuroma? Pitfalls for radiosurgeons
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, 2015AbstractIntroductionBecause acoustic neuroma (AN), also termed vestibular schwannoma, constitutes by far the commonest intracranial schwannoma and cerebello‐pontine angle (CPA) tumour, there is a risk of overlooking rarer alternative diagnoses with similar clinical and/or radiological features.

Facial neuroma masquerading as acoustic neuroma
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2014Facial nerve neuromas are rare benign tumors that may be initially misdiagnosed as acoustic neuromas when situated near the auditory apparatus. We describe a patient with a large cystic tumor with associated trigeminal, facial, audiovestibular, and brainstem dysfunction, which was suspicious for acoustic neuroma on preoperative neuroimaging ...

Epidemiology of acoustic neuromas
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1984In Denmark one surgical team, during the last 7 years, has performed about 80 per cent of all acoustic neuroma surgery. Because of this centralization, in such a limited population as that of Denmark, we have attempted to make a epidemiological survey of all diagnosed tumours in the period from 1976 to 1983. Systematic and prospective records were made

Acoustic Neuromas in the Elderly
Otology & Neurotology, 2001To determine if an "observation" protocol with serial scanning is a safe and effective management paradigm for acoustic neuromas in the elderly.A retrospective case review was performed.This study was performed in an academic, tertiary care center.Forty-one patients over the age of 65 years were identified with the primary diagnosis of unilateral ...
