Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He got sucker-punched, blindsided with something that only happens to other people. Actor David Shannon had a brain tumor. It was called an Acoustic Neuroma. In late 2007, he had surgery to have it removed. All should have gone well. It didn't. Gradually over the next two years, Shannon made one disturbing discovery after another that left his acting career and his former life in ruin. Hell in the Head is his story. With a knack for story-telling, Shannon takes us along on his medical misadventure with irreverent wit. As he weaves his way through his newly found post-surgery world, he shares heart-rending losses and his dashed hopes for recovery as well as stories of achievement and inspiration. From learning the bitter truth to running a half marathon to meeting Crookedsmile and others facing the same ordeal, Shannon tells the good and the ugly with the same wry humor that will have you laughing and crying at the same time. In the end, after a three-year-ride on a rollercoaster of emotional chaos, he presents an advocacy for improved care and counseling for Acoustic Neuroma patients. Hell in the Head is a story of wit and inspiration for all readers and a must read for Acoustic Neuroma patients and "posties."

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.

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.
