Acoustic Schwannoma

Acoustic Schwannoma Specialist in Mumbai
Acoustic Schwannomas, also known as vestibular schwannomas or acoustic neuromas, are non-cancerous tumours that develop on the vestibulocochlear nerve, these nerves connect the inner ear to the brain. They arise from the Schwann cells, which form the protective covering of nerves, affecting hearing, sense of balance and facial nerve functions. While typically slow-growing, they can cause serious complications if left untreated, therefore early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.
