  • Title: When to suspect an acoustic neuroma.
    Author: Spoelhof GD.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1995 Nov 01; 52(6):1768-74. PubMed ID: 7484687.
    Abstract:
    Acoustic neuroma is a rare but important cause of sensorineural hearing loss. Patients with asymmetric hearing loss or unilateral tinnitus should be evaluated expeditiously to prevent further neurologic damage. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is the best tool for making the diagnosis of acoustic neuroma. Surgical removal using a translabyrinthine approach, is the favored treatment, although radiation therapy and expectant management may be chosen for patients at high surgical risk.
