MedlinePlus: Acoustic neuroma is a non-cancerous tumor that develops on the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. the tumor usually grows slowly. as it grows, it presses against the hearing and balance nerves. at first, you may have no symptoms or mild symptoms. they can include
loss of hearing on one side
ringing in ears
dizziness and balance problems
acoustic neuroma can be difficult to diagnose, because the symptoms are similar to those of middle ear problems. ear exams, hearing tests and scans can show if you have it.
if the tumor stays small, you may only need to have it checked regularly. if you do need treatment, surgery and radiation are options. if the tumors affect both hearing nerves, it is often because of a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis. the tumor can also eventually cause numbness or paralysis of the face. if it grows large enough, it can press against the brain, becoming life-threatening.23
MalaCards: Acoustic Neuroma, also known as vestibular schwannoma, is related to neurofibromatosis and meningioma. An important gene associated with Acoustic Neuroma is NF2 (neurofibromin 2 (merlin)), and among its related pathways are Assembly of the RAD51-ssDNA nucleoprotein complex and Dual incision reaction in GG-NER. The compounds cytosine and 2-deoxyribonolactone have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain and spinal cord, and related mouse phenotypes are endocrine/exocrine gland and liver/biliary system. Genetics Home Reference: Neurofibromatosis type 2 is a disorder characterized by the growth of noncancerous tumors in the nervous system. The most common tumors associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 are called vestibular schwannomas or acoustic neuromas. These growths develop along the nerve that carries information from the inner ear to the brain (the auditory nerve). Tumors that occur on nerves in other areas of the brain or spinal cord are also commonly seen with this condition.17 Wikipedia: A vestibular schwannoma, often called an acoustic neuroma, is a benign primary intracranial tumor of the...44 more... |
