Diagnosis of Acoustic Neuroma

Neurosurgery, 1981
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, 2015
AbstractIntroductionBecause 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, 2014
Facial 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 ...

Acoustic Neuroma Update

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1996
We have described refinements and alternative techniques in the management of acoustic neuromas. The outcome for patients with both unilateral and bilateral tumors continues to improve.

Acoustic Neuromas in the Elderly

Otology & Neurotology, 2001
To 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 ...

Epidemiology of acoustic neuromas

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1984
In 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

Management of Acoustic Neuromas

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1991
A survey of the management of acoustic neuromas in the broadest sense is given. The epidemiology and pathogenesis is described. The clinical development may take any imaginable course, and even though a slowly progressing unilateral hearing impairment, of the sensorineural type, is the main pattern of presentation, it is stressed that any type of ...

Hypervascular acoustic neuroma

Neurological Research, 1998
The authors present a patient with a large acoustic neuroma that exhibited an unusual vascular architecture. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple flow voids in and around the mass. At surgery, intra- and extratumoral vascularity was arterialized due to luxurious shunting.

The Incidence of Acoustic Neuromas

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1988
To the Editor .—Medical literature describes the acoustic neuroma as the most common tumor of the posterior fossa, but its actual incidence or prevalence in the general population is not known. Autopsy studies have found vestibular nerve sheath tumors in 1%, or fewer, of cases.

Diagnosis of Acoustic Neuromas

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1969
THE EXPERIENCE of the last few years has proven that the number of acoustic tumors found is in direct relationship to the index of suspicion for such a lesion by the otologist. The possibility of an acoustic tumor should be entertained in all cases of unilateral cochlear or vestibular loss of unknown origin.
