neurilemmomas (pronounced nyoor-uh-lem-oh-muhs), or acoustic neuromas (pronounced nr-ow-muhs). Schwannomas are common benign tumors in adults. They start in the cells that line your nerves and provide insulation for the electrical impulses that move between your nerve cells. They can start ...

Acoustic neuromas -- sometimes called vestibular schwannomas or neurilemmoma -- usually grow slowly over a period of years. Although they do not actually invade thebrain, they can push on it as they grow. Larger tumors can press on nearby cranial nerves that control the muscles of facial expr...
Read about brain cancer statistics, treatment (surgery, chemotherapy), symptoms, causes, risk factors, tumor types, stages, prognosis, and survival rates. Not all brain tumors are cancerous; some are benign.
Radiology specially, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MRI) are useful in not only diagnosis but also identifying the nerve of origin. Total excision of the tumor via an external approach is the treatment of choice, for extracranial hypoglossal nerve schwannoma....
Schwannomas– originate from the schwannomas cells present in the myelin sheath Lymphomasof the primary central nervous system (malignant) Craniopharyngiomas– These are found in children and are mostly benign in nature. Premature puberty and changes in the vision occur as symptoms. ...
acoustic neuroma. This gene change is inherited in people with a rare disorder called neurofibromatosis type 2. People with neurofibromatosis type 2 usually have growth of tumors on the hearing and balance nerves on both sides of the head. These tumors are known as bilateral vestibular schwannomas...
Acoustic neuroma: It is the most common type of brain tumor which generally develops on the VIII cranial nerve (auditory-vestibular nerve) which passes information from the inner ear to the brain. It is also known asvestibular schwannoma. When these tumors grow in size it causes- hearing loss...
