| | Acoustic Neuroma NY, Neurosurgeon New York, Long Island, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk, Brain Tumor MRI |
 | | The term "acoustic neuroma" is actually a misnomer since the tumor never arises from the acoustic division of the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII) and the tumor is not a neuroma but a schwannoma. |
 | | During removal of the tumor, the tumor along with the superior and inferior vestibular nerves are removed. |
 | | Earliest symptoms of acoustic neuromas include hearing loss/deafness, disturbed sense of balance and altered gait, vertigo with associated nausea and vomiting, and pressure in the ear, all of which can be attributed to the disruption of normal vestibulocochlear nerve function. |
