Caused by schwannoma of the vestibular nerve, it grows around and presses on the acoustic nerve, causing unilateral deafness unless it is surgically removed.

a benign brain tumor (or tumour)

a benign neoplasm of the Schwann cells of the eighth cranial nerve

a benign (noncancerous) brain tumor that starts in the cells that wrap around the auditory (hearing) nerve in the head

a benign (non-cancerous) growth that arises from the sheath surrounding the eighth cranial nerve

a benign , noncancerous, often slow-growing

a benign (non-cancerous) tumor of the eight cranical nerve called the acoustic nerve or vestibulocochler nerve

a benign (non-cancerous) tumor on the eighth cranial nerve leading from the brainstem to the ear

a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that stems from the eighth cranial nerve

a benign slowgrowing tumor of the nerve which connects the ear to the brain

a benign, slow-growing tumour that originates in the canal connecting the brain to the inner ear

a benign slowly growing neoplasm

a benign tumor arising from cells in the eighth cranial nerve, located deep within the skull

a benign tumour that grows on the auditory nerve near the point where it enters the labyrinth of the inner ear

a benign tumour that grows on the hearing and

a fairly rare, extremely slow growing neoplasm that originates on the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve in the internal auditory canal

an example of a tumor that causes hearing loss

a noncancerous (benign) growth on the acoustic nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain

a noncancerous, often slow-growing tumor on

a non-cancerous tumor that grows on the eighth cranial nerve

a non-malignant tumour on the auditory nerve

a rare, benign (non-cancerous) growth

a rare tumour that grows from the acoustic nerve (or vestibulocochlear nerve)

a slow-growing, noncancerous tumor on the eighth cranial nerve leading from the brainstem to the ear

a tumor involving the vestibulocochlear nerve as it exits the cranial cavity

a tumor that occurs on the balance or hearing nerve

a tumour growing on the nerve that controls hearing

a type of benign tumour that grows in the canal connecting the brain to the inner ear

A common tumor of the acoustic nerve (which serves as the pathway for hearing); it can cause hearing loss, can compress the brainstem and other nerves, and can usually be cured with surgery

Benign tumor of the eighth cranial nerve

A tumor or new growth which involves the acoustic division of the eighth cranial nere, largely made up of nerve cells and nerve fibers.

vestibular schwannoma

3/4­Áö- a tumor, usually benign, which develops on the hearing and balance nerves and can cause gradual hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness.

An acoustic neuroma (also sometimes termed a neurolemmoma or schwannoma) is a benign (non-cancerous) tissue growth that arises on the eighth cranial nerve leading from the brain to the inner ear. The first symptom in 90% of those with a tumor is a reduction in hearing in one ear, often accompanied by ear noise or tinnitus. Unsteadiness and balance problems may occur during the growth of the neuroma. Large tumors can press on the trigeminal nerve, causing facial numbness and tingling.

A benign tumor that occurs on the acoustic (hearing) branch or vestibular (balance) branch of the 8th cranial nerve.

A benign tumor developing on the hearing and balance nerves near the inner ear.

Vestibular schwannomas are commonly known as acoustic neuromas. A benign tumor of the nerve of hearing (the 8th cranial nerve.) This tumor is usually very slow growing.

A tumorous growth usually associated with the eighth nerve.

a tumor growing from the acoustic nerve

A tumor growing on the acoustic or hearing nerve. This can sometimes cause TN when the nearby tumor pushes a blood vessel onto the trigeminal nerve.
