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.

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 ...

Bilateral acoustic neuromas

Clinical Otolaryngology, 1993
This article reviews 12 patients with bilateral acoustic neuromas. The sex incidence was equal and the mean age at diagnosis was 26.2 years. The family history was positive in nine of the patients. Five patients have had incomplete surgical removal of acoustic neuromas on both sides.

Bilateral Acoustic Neuromas

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1972
A case is presented of a 17-year-old female with bilateral acoustic neuromas not associated with multiple neurofibromatosis. The progressive nature of the hearing loss, retrocochlear audiometric test results as well as physical symptoms suggested bilateral acoustic neuromas. Both neuromas were removed with resulting total hearing loss.

The Origin of Acoustic Neuromas

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1987
Small acoustic neuromas, operated on through transpetrosal approaches were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. All schwannomas were found to interpenetrate the vestibular ganglion without a space or a capsule. In the abnormal ganglion areas, free tumour Schwann cells were observed.

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.

The investigation of acoustic neuroma

Clinical Radiology, 1991
Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (GdMR) is the long awaited, easy and definitive investigation for imaging or excluding small acoustic neuromas. However, on the grounds of cost alone it is unrealistic to submit every patient with mild unilateral sensorineural deafness to GdMR.

The Acoustic Neuroma Association

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1997
The Acoustic Neuroma Association (ANA) was established in 1981 in an effort to improve patients' treatment experiences and subsequent recovery by providing realistic and accurate patient information and by offering opportunities for positive interaction with other acoustic tumor patients.

Conservative Management Of Acoustic Neuromas

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1992
The results of this study and others document the biologic behavior of acoustic neuromas. In view of the evidence presented, which describes both variable rates of individual tumor growth and spontaneous regression in size, it would seem prudent that before selecting a nonsurgical treatment modality, the growth rate for the particular tumor in question
