These tumors derive from myelinating Schwann cells of the vestibular division of the vestibulocochlear (eighth cranial) nerve. The term “vestibular schwannoma” is preferred over the historical ...

A vestibular schwannoma is a slow-growing, benign tumor developing in the nerves that connect the inner ear to the brain. These tumors are not malignant, and produce symptoms by pressure on the ...

The tumors can form anywhere, but they often develop in the inner ear — which is called a vestibular schwannoma or an acoustic neuroma. If you have a vestibular schwannoma, it can affect your ...

Unilateral/asymmetric hearing loss and/or tinnitus and loss of balance/dizziness are early signs of a vestibular schwannoma. Unfortunately, early detection of the tumor is sometimes difficult ...

Vestibular schwannoma (VS), a tumor that occurs sporadically or in association with neurofibromatosis type 2, presents with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in the majority of patients.

Vestibular schwannoma is a scary-sounding diagnosis that very few of us have ever heard of. The cancer, also known as acoustic neuroma is a benign brain tumor that can grow silently for years ...

Auditory Tumor or Acoustic Neuroma or Vestibular Schwannoma is a benign growth that arises on the vestibular cochlear nerve. It is not a cancer. An Auditory Tumor or Acoustic Neuroma or Vestibular ...

Removing a vestibular schwannoma - a slow-growing, benign tumor that develops in the nerves connecting the inner ear to the brain - is a delicate procedure. Surgeons must differentiate the tumor ...

Tumor control, defined as stability (<25% change) or regression of the vestibular schwannoma from baseline, was noted in 99% of the SRS group at three years, five years, and eight years.

In some cases of vestibular schwannoma, a sometimes-lethal tumor often associated with neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2), secretions from the tumor contain toxic molecules that damage the inner ear.

Salicylates, a class of non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), reduced the proliferation and viability of cultured vestibular schwannoma cells that cause a sometimes lethal intracranial tumor ...

A vestibular schwannoma (also known as acoustic neuroma, acoustic neurinoma, or acoustic neurilemoma) is a benign, usually slow-growing tumor that develops from the balance and hearing nerves ...
