Download or read book Modern Management of Acoustic Neuroma written by Jean Régis and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic neuroma outcomes have been greatly improved by advances in microsurgical techniques, and recently by the long-term application of radiosurgery, which has proven to be an appropriate, verifiable, and extremely clinically relevant treatment strategy. This volume brings together the latest opinions of outstanding physicians and surgeons who treat patients with acoustic neuromas, commonly known as vestibular neuromas. Since the days of Cushing, when partial tumor removal seemed the best method for saving a patient's life, the management of this relatively rare tumor has sparked enormous clinical interest. The book outlines the various stages in the evolution of vestibular schwannoma surgery and presents the full spectrum of current therapeutic possibilities. The novel concept of combining microsurgical with radiosurgical skills should eliminate problems such as facial palsy and hearing loss which were previously associated with the therapeutic management of these tumors. The excellent research findings published here by leading experts in the field will help neurosurgeons, otologists and radiation oncologists to understand the enormous strides made during the last two decades in vestibular schwannoma surgery and radiosurgery.

Download or read book Comprehensive Management of Vestibular Schwannoma written by Matthew L. Carlson and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 1867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive resource on clinical management of vestibular schwannoma from world renowned experts Although a histologically benign and relatively uncommon tumor, otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons have maintained a lasting and deep-rooted fascination with vestibular schwannoma, also known as acoustic neuroma. Advancements in microsurgical technique, radiosurgery, and radiotherapy, coupled with an increased understanding of the natural history of the disease, have made modern management of this tumor considerably more complex. Concurrently, new controversies have added to the original debates among pioneering surgeons, with the pendulum swinging between conservatism and definitive cure. Comprehensive Management of Vestibular Schwannoma, by distinguished Mayo Clinic clinicians and renowned international contributors, is a comprehensive textbook covering all the clinical aspects of vestibular schwannoma management. Eighty-four chapters written by multidisciplinary experts including otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neurologists, neuroradiologists, and audiologists, ensure a balanced view of all treatment modalities for sporadic and neurofibromatosis type 2-associated vestibular schwannoma. Key Features Evaluation, surgical and nonsurgical approaches, rehabilitation, controversies, and long-term clinical outcomes Detailed illustrations by Robert Morreale, senior medical illustrator at the Mayo Clinic, highlight relevant anatomy and surgical approaches Chapter summary tables provide readers with a rapid clinical reference derived from the published world literature The chapter "Anatomy of Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery" by the late internationally renowned neurosurgeon Albert L. Rhoton Jr. reflects his major contributions on this subject With inclusion of fundamental principles to advanced concepts, this is a robust resource for residents, fellows, and early attending physicians, as well as mid- to later-career physicians who care for patients with vestibular schwannoma.

Download or read book A Patient s Guide to Acoustic Neuroma written by Mark Knoblauch Phd and published by Kiremma Press. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic neuroma, or vestibular schwannoma, is a benign tumor originating from the vestibulocochlear nerve located deep within the skull. Despite its benign nature, an acoustic neuroma can cause significant disruption to an affected patient's life including slowly worsening degrees of imbalance, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Thanks to significant advancements in medicine, acoustic neuroma patients are now afforded a variety of treatment options that include everything from monitoring the growth of the tumor to surgical removal. A Patient's Guide to Acoustic Neuroma is designed to serve as a comprehensive, practical reference guide for individuals affected by acoustic neuroma. In this book you will find a detailed overview of the inner-ear structures affected by acoustic neuroma as well as a summary of the latest research into the suspected causes and relevant symptoms of acoustic neuroma. In addition, the tools used in diagnosis of acoustic neuroma are outlined, along with details about the various treatment options available for patients and the resulting influence on a patient's quality of life. This book is designed to educate and empower those who are affected by acoustic neuroma. To do this, over 150 citations highlight the most recent research in the field while also recognizing the broad extent of research into acoustic neuroma that has been acquired over the past century. In doing so, patients can be armed with the most relevant information that can then be used to have informed and productive discussions with their medical provider.
