What is Acoustic Neuroma Disease?
Acoustic neuroma is a benign tumour that grow within the vestibular nerve, which lies around the auditory nerve. The vestibular nerve helps for the balancing of the body, and the auditory nerve is responsible for hearing. The acoustic neuroma tumor starts within schwann cells which cover the nerve. Slow growing benign tumour usually stays in the same position in that part of the brain.
The nervous system starts from the brain to spinal cord, then it flow to the other parts of the body. Most nerves are connected first to the spinal cord, which runs through the space within each vertebra, and then to the brain. 12 pairs of nerves which arise directly from the brain then pass into the skull to reach their locations, called the cranial nerves.
The eighth cranial nerve is incharge of hearing and balance. The two parts of these nerves will control the transmitting sound information and the other sending balance information to the brain.
| Acoustic Neuroma Diagnosed |
Acoustic neuroma tumor grows slowly in years and when large may press on normal brain tissue. Larger tumours can press on another nerve in the same area which is the nerve concerned with facial sensation which may cause facial paralysis.
| Acoustic Neuroma Symptoms |
Acoustic neuroma tumor develop slowly over several years. The most common Acoustic neuroma tumor symptom is loss of hearing, and accompanied by a buzzing or tinnitus and sometimes pain in the ear. Dizziness and poor balance can also be one condition.
| Acoustic Neuroma Tumor Disease types of hearing loss . |
