What should I do if I get acoustic neuroma? What are the precursors of acoustic neuroma? Jiamusi hospital

acoustic neuroma is rare, but it is fatal, but its early symptoms are mild and difficult to find. Therefore, when there is unexplained tinnitus and hard of hearing in one ear, CT or MRI should be performed to diagnose it. When tinnitus or hearing loss suddenly occurs, many people prefer to go to the ENT for treatment. There are many factors that cause tinnitus and hearing loss. Acoustic neuroma is one of the common causes, but it is often ignored in clinic. Director Wang, a brain tumor expert of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing Shijingshan Tongxin Hospital, explained that acoustic neuroma is often considered as a brain tumor, but it is not located in the brain parenchyma, but grows on the vestibular branch of the auditory nerve. Acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor, which usually grows slowly, with an average annual growth rate of 2 mm. The average period from onset to hospitalization is .6~4. years, and the time of symptoms can range from several months to more than ten years. Tinnitus, dizziness and hearing changes are the early prominent clinical symptoms of acoustic neuroma. Other symptoms are related to the size of the tumor and the sequence and degree of the tumor's influence on peripheral nerves. If trigeminal nerve, facial auditory nerve, posterior cranial nerve, cerebellum and brain stem are affected, corresponding clinical symptoms and signs will appear, which is clinically called pons-cerebellar angle syndrome, including dysfunction of vestibular branch and cochlear branch of auditory nerve, stimulation or paralysis symptoms of adjacent cranial nerves, cerebellum symptoms, brain stem symptoms, intracranial hypertension symptoms and so on. But the first symptoms of this disease are almost all the symptoms of the auditory nerve itself, including dizziness, dizziness, unilateral tinnitus and deafness. Because the dizziness and dizziness of this disease are not severe, but also accompanied by nausea and vomiting, it is often ignored.

Although acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor, only early detection can have a good prognosis. However, the early treatment is surgery. After early detection, acoustic neuroma can be removed by microsurgery to preserve hearing, and then treated with traditional Chinese medicine to achieve the goal of recovery. If it is found too late, the protection of hearing may not be sure.

How to find the early symptoms of acoustic neuroma? The early symptoms of acoustic neuroma include tinnitus, hearing loss and dizziness. Tinnitus often occurs at the same time as hearing loss, or it can occur alone a little earlier. Tinnitus can be a roar or whistle, etc., mostly persistent. Hearing loss is mostly progressive neurological deafness on one side. People can hear the sound but can't distinguish the meaning of the language, especially on the phone.

If early detection is not possible, mid-term detection should be done to avoid long-term misdiagnosis. With the development of the disease, the patient's deafness will become more and more serious, and the X-ray film in the ear canal found that the internal auditory canal was enlarged. Because the tumor gradually expands in the internal auditory canal and develops to the suprapontine angle, it can produce intracranial nerve compression symptoms; When trigeminal nerve is involved, one side of the face will feel dull, painful, numb and corneal reflex will be dull or disappear; After facial nerve involvement, there will be facial spasm, muscle weakness, and even mouth deviation and eye deviation; If the tumor is compressed to the cerebellum, it will cause unclear pronunciation and dyskinesia.

Advanced acoustic neuroma may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, fundus edema and even life-threatening due to the increase of intracranial pressure, and the surgical prognosis is not very good.

treatment of acoustic neuroma: most benign tumors can be cured permanently if they can be completely removed in the early stage or treated with Chinese medicine. Clinically, because acoustic neuroma is adjacent to brain stem, the operation is more complicated. There are many postoperative complications, mostly facial nerve injury. When the tumor is large, it may hurt trigeminal nerve, accumulated glossopharyngeal nerve, vagal channel or brain stem, and temporary or permanent peripheral facial paralysis, dysphagia, neuropathies, etc. Injury to the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and anterior inferior cerebellar artery leads to partial softening of pons in the medulla oblongata, which is an important cause of postoperative death of acoustic neuroma.

The general treatment of brain tumor, surgery, traditional Chinese medicine and selective radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be taken as important measures for comprehensive treatment. Surgery should be considered first. Any tumor that grows in a site that can be surgically removed should be considered first. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other conservative treatments are needed for patients with inoperable sites or multiple brain tumors. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is mainly to control the development and metastasis of most brain tumors, relieve the disease and reduce the adverse reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Improve the quality of life and prolong life. Beijing Tongxin Hospital is the only institution in China that has used pure Chinese medicine to treat brain tumors for many years. It has remarkable curative effects on glioma, meningioma, pituitary tumor, craniopharyngioma, acoustic neuroma, brain metastasis and other brain tumors. Some patients have obvious effects in about half a month, and a small number of patients have shrunk or a small number of calcifications have disappeared after taking medicine for about six months. < P > Some patients with brain tumors can effectively prevent recurrence and metastasis after surgery. Over the years, it has relieved tens of thousands of patients with brain tumors or extended their lives with high quality. Wang Shiying, an expert on brain tumor, please search for telephone consultation and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The treatment of brain tumor needs the cooperation of many aspects. The treatment of brain tumor is better with the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and western medicine can kill the tumor quickly. Chinese medicine can alleviate the side effects in the treatment of western medicine, so that the treatment of western medicine can continue, and the two complement each other, effectively improving the quality of life of patients and prolonging their life. After operation, combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment can greatly reduce the recurrence rate. At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job of postoperative nursing, supplement nutritious food in diet, make proper Duan Lian after operation and maintain a good mentality, which will help to prolong the survival period of patients. Brain tumor experts suggest that brain tumor is a difficult disease, so patients must choose a regular professional hospital, find a doctor in a professional brain tumor department for treatment, take drugs on time and quantitatively according to the doctor's advice, and don't buy drugs or "combine drugs" at will, so as not to delay the illness and cause irreparable regret. What patients need to know: the patient should provide his name, age, onset history, treatment history, original or copy of relevant medical records and inspection report, CT or MRI film.
