Acoustic neuroma Overview
Acoustic neuroma occurs in two forms: a sporadic form and a form associated with an inherited syndrome called neurofibromatosis type II (NF2).
Acoustic tumors grow very slowly. As they grow, they push against the brain but they don't spread into the brain.
An acoustic neuroma is a noncancerous (benign) tumor of the acoustic nerve, which carries sound from the inner ear to the brain.
An acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor involving cells of the myelin sheath that surrounds the vestibulocochlear nerve (eighth cranial nerve).
An acoustic neuroma can arise from the left vestibular nerve or the right vestibular nerve.
