Meningioma The Skull Base Institute in Los Angeles is devoted exclusively to the treatment of patients with brain and skull base disorders. These include brain tumors, pituitary tumors, acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, chordomas, congenital craniofacial deformities (craniosynotosis), microvascular nerve compression syndromes, (trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm), cranial extensions of head and neck cancers and other vascular lesions (aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations). The Institute is on the leading edge and is an international referral center for patients with pituitary adenomas. The Institute's position is due to the fully endoscopic minimally invasive techniques used for removing pituitary tumors through the nostril without the need for any incisions. The Institute has also innovated fully endoscopic techniques for the removal of brain tumors in the posterior skull base such as meningiomas, acoustic neuromas and chordomas through dime-size openings behind the ear using minimally invasive techniques.

Rankin Physiotherapy Vancouver, British Columbia rankinphysio@telus.net What is Facial Retraining? Facial Retraining is a technique developed by Dr. Richard Balliet at the University of Wisconsin. It involves isolated muscle work, equalizing tone on both sides of the face, mirror, and therapist feedback. It is effective at minimizing dissymmetry while awaiting nerve regeneration and maximizing facial control of those muscles which are re-innervated. What is Vestibular Rehabilitation? Vestibular Rehabilitation involves a series of exercises using eye, head and body movements designed to enhance adaptation of the vestibular system. Graded and staged movements enhance recovery. Facial Palsy Any facial palsy which results from damage to the peripheral facial nerve can benefit from treatment. Typical conditions treated include diagnoses such as: Acoustic Neuroma Bell's Palsy Ramsay-Hunt Tumours of, or around the facial nerve

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top These tumors are thought to arise when there is a defect in a certain tumor suppressor gene, which normally prevents tumors from occurring. The cause of the genetic defect is not known. However, acoustic neuroma is often linked with the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 2 Acoustic neuromas are relatively uncommon, but they are one of the most common types of brain tumors. They affect approximately 1 out of 100,000 people per year. The tumor is most commonly located at the base of the brain, where the auditory nerve leaves the skull cavity and enters the bony structure of the inner ear.

I had my surgery in 96' If I knew things today that I know now I might not of had the surgery. It all depends on if the tumor was pressing on nerves and could of been life threatening. I have earing loss in my left ear and my balance problems are the same as before. I still have headaches and sometimes and my skull gets very sensitive where they did the surgery.. I sometimes wish I never had it done. Anyway, thanks for this site it is a great help knowing there are others who have had the same thing..

32. 1998 Acoustic Neuroma Surgery: A Patient’s Perspective acoustic neuroma Surgery A Patient s Perspective. by Gary Hunt. Disclaimer job! acoustic neuroma Surgery A Patient s Perspective. by Gary Hunt. http://neurosurgery.mgh.harvard.edu/hunt.htm

Acoustic Neuroma Surgery: A Patient's Perspective by Gary Hunt : This account is my own and I make no promises as to every medical detail being accurate, the events are as just as I recalled them. Any opinion expressed is entirely my own. I can't promise that each surgery will go exactly like this one, but hope that it offers some insight from a personal perspective. Consult your physician for details. July 31, 1995 August 18, 1995 At the ENT's office, more sophisticated hearing tests were performed. One of the tests involved sending some sound waves at the ear and noting the wave forms produced, which indicates the functioning of the acoustic nerve. Since the wave patterns produced were not normal for my right ear, they decided to go ahead and order an MRI to get more detailed information. The ENT said that it is probably nothing, but it is not typical to lose hearing in just one ear alone (unless due to noise exposure). It is always nice to have a doctor with a since of humor (I think). At the end, he asked me, have you ever seen the Woody Allen film, "Hannah and Her Three Sisters?" I said I had and vaguely recalled that in the film Woody Allen had to get an MRI and felt that he was going to surely die. The ENT said, "don't be like the character Woody Allen portrayed." I later on learned that in the movie, he was actually going for an MRI scan to check for acoustic neuroma . I had never had an MRI before and wondered what it was like. He said, "I've never lost anybody yet (to an MRI) and you're not allowed to be the first." I left not really worrying about anything.

My Acoustic Neuroma Experience This is the story of my diagnosis and treatment of acoustic neuroma.  I decided to provide a detailed diary of my experience and decisions as an aid to others with this condition.  Perhaps I got a little carried away with the detail, but I wanted to be sure I didn't leave anything out. I'm an engineer, not a doctor, and any statements or opinons on this website regarding treatment are only my opinion as an AN patient, nothing more.  My quotes of some the various people I spoke with about my condition are limited by the accuracy of my memory. My stated opinions of each of these people is based on my limited personal experience with them, and my opinion might improve or decline if I knew them better. 2002 UPDATE! For those who are wondering where I am two years after treatment, I'm still at Boeing and am now working on the new Sonic Cruiser! 2003 UPDATE! For those who are wondering where I am three years after treatment, I'm still at Boeing and am now working in Systems Product Development, supporting existing airplanes and also the new 7E7 dreamliner!
