An expectant, nontreatment strategy for acoustic neuromas implies an understanding of the natural biologic behavior of these tumors. This study describes the long-term follow-up of a group of unoperated acoustic neuroma patients. Patterns of tumor growth are discussed in light of clinical outcome. Patient selection and a follow-up protocol are recommended for those individuals in whom a nontreatment strategy is contemplated.

D009464 Neuroma, Acoustic A benign SCHWANNOMA of the eighth cranial nerve (VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE), mostly arising from the vestibular branch (VESTIBULAR NERVE) during the fifth or sixth decade of life. Clinical manifestations include HEARING LOSS; HEADACHE; VERTIGO; TINNITUS; and FACIAL PAIN. Bilateral acoustic neuromas are associated with NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 2.
