kidney disease treatment in Talcahuano

Acoustic Neuroma, also known as vestibular schwannoma, is a non-cancerous tumor that develops on the eighth cranial nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. This nerve is responsible for balance and hearing, so the growth of an acoustic neuroma can disrupt these functions. Symptoms typically include hearing loss in one ear, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), and balance issues. As the tumor grows, it can also cause facial numbness, headaches, and in severe cases, can compress the brainstem, leading to serious complications.The exact cause of acoustic neuroma is often unknown, but in some cases, it is associated with a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), which leads to the growth of tumors on nerve tissue.Diagnosis involves imaging tests like MRI or CT scans, which can detect the presence and size of the tumor. Hearing tests may also be conducted to assess the impact on auditory function.Treatment options depend on the size and growth rate of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall health. Small, slow-growing tumors may be monitored with regular imaging studies, a process known as "watchful waiting." For larger or symptomatic tumors, surgical removal or radiation therapy may be recommended to prevent further complications.
