Acoustic Schwannoma

Acoustic Schwannoma (also known as Vestibular Schwannoma) is a benign tumour that develops on the vestibulocochlear nerve, which connects the inner ear to the brain. While slow-growing, it can cause significant symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), balance disturbances, and in advanced cases, pressure on the brainstem.

At Srinivasa Neurologics, our team led by Dr. Rakshith Srinivasa provides advanced microsurgical and endoscopic approaches for safe and effective tumour removal, aiming to preserve neurological function and improve quality of life.

Understanding Acoustic Schwannoma

• Origin – Arises from the Schwann cells of the balance nerve.

• Symptoms – Gradual hearing loss, dizziness, balance problems, facial numbness, or weakness.

• Risks if Untreated – Large tumours may compress vital brain structures, leading to serious complications.
