What is the treatment of acoustic neuroma?
Treatment of an acoustic neuroma depends upon the size of the tumor, the rate of growth of the tumor, the location of the tumor, the amount of hearing loss and the age of the patient. These factors are often inter-related and must be considered in the context of each individual patient. There are three approaches to treatment: expectant observation (no treatment), surgical removal and focused radiation therapy (radiosurgery).
