Acoustic neuroma is a non-cancerous or benign tumor. It does not spread to other areas of the body or involves any structures close to it as it grows. The symptoms and complications occur due to pressure the tumor exerts on the base of the brain. One will need treatment only if the symptoms are severe
Acoustic neuromas are benign tumors that grow slowly. On average, they grow between 0.5 to 2mm in a year. Around thirty percent may not show any change in size even after five to ten years. Treatments are necessary only when the tumor is big enough to create symptoms. Till then, a 'wait and watch' policy is the best
If you have small acoustic neuromas without any symptoms, you will not need any treatment immediately. Your doctor will advise you to have CT scans every year to see whether it is growing in size. You will have treatment if the doctor feels that the tumor is growing fast or you have symptoms
Acoustic neuroma is a skull base tumor that creates problems when it presses against the brain. If the tumor is large, you will need surgery to remove it. The surgeon will remove the tumor through an opening in the skull behind the ear. Stereotactic radiosurgery, a form of radiation treatment is an option for those in whom surgery is not possible
