What is Acoustic Neuroma Treatment?
Acoustic neuroma treatment focuses on managing a benign, slow-growing tumor on the vestibulocochlear nerve. Treatment decisions depend on tumor size, symptoms, and growth rate. If left untreated, it may cause complications like hearing loss, balance disturbances, and facial nerve dysfunction. Options include regular monitoring, radiation therapy to halt tumor growth, or surgical removal for larger tumors. The goal is to prevent further complications, preserve hearing and nerve function, and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life.
