Acoustic Neuroma Treatments

Acoustic neuroma treatments include acoustic neuroma fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery, microsurgery or even observation.

Acoustic Neuroma Mailing List

Selection of the acoustic neuroma treatment follows the complete understanding of the potential benefits as well as risks of the treatments.

Subscribe to the Acoustic Neuroma Mailing List (Listserve) for discussions of options for treatment.

Acoustic Neuroma Questionnaire

The form below allows the current clinical facts of the acoustic neuroma to be relayed in order to facilitate further discussion of the acoustic neuromas. This acoustic neuromas discussion can include the relative merits of surgery, radiosurgery or observation with close MRI surveillance of acoustic neuromas.

Please complete the form and press the "Send Form" button at the end of the page. Dr. Williams can then supply the information to you for your review and consideration.

Email Dr. Jeffery Williams jw@jhu.edu.

The decisions related to treatments for the acoustic neuromas depend upon the complete understanding of the competing risks vs. benefits for the different treatments. Options for acoustic neuroma treatment may include surgery or radiosurgery. The FSR (fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery) for acoustic neuromas is an important option for treatment. The important considerations for treatments of the acoustic neuromas include the size and rate of growth, as well as the progression of any symptoms (hearing, balance, ringing (tinnitus)).
