Synopsis

Acoustic neuroma, or vestibular schwannoma, is a benign tumor originating from the vestibulocochlear nerve located deep within the skull. Despite its benign nature, an acoustic neuroma can cause significant disruption to an affected patient's life including slowly worsening degrees of imbalance, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Thanks to significant advancements in medicine, acoustic neuroma patients are now afforded a variety of treatment options that include everything from monitoring the growth of the tumor to surgical removal.

A Patient's Guide to Acoustic Neuroma is designed to serve as a comprehensive, practical reference guide for individuals affected by acoustic neuroma. In this book you will find a detailed overview of the inner-ear structures affected by acoustic neuroma as well as a summary of the latest research into the suspected causes and relevant symptoms of acoustic neuroma. In addition, the tools used in diagnosis of acoustic neuroma are outlined, along with details about the various treatment options available for patients and the resulting influence on a patient's quality of life.

This book is designed to educate and empower those who are affected by acoustic neuroma. To do this, over 150 citations highlight the most recent research in the field while also recognizing the broad extent of research into acoustic neuroma that has been acquired over the past century. In doing so, patients can be armed with the most relevant information that can then be used to have informed and productive discussions with their medical provider.
