How long can you live with an auditory neuroma?

  The survival time of patients with auditory neuroma is determined by the patient’s condition, the outcome of surgical treatment and complications.  Auditory neuroma is a benign tumor that originates from the auditory nerve sheath and develops slowly. Surgery is the treatment of choice for this disease. If the tumor is found to be small and has not yet compressed other tissues in the skull, and the tumor has been completely removed during surgery, it will have no impact on the patient’s life expectancy; if the removal is incomplete, it will easily recur. If the tumor is found to be large, the tumor has already compressed the surrounding brain tissues, or has adhesions with the surrounding brain tissues, which may cause intracranial lesions, and the difficulty and risk of surgery have increased at this time, and the chance of complications after surgery has also increased, and the patient may die within a short time.  Audioneuroma may show symptoms such as tinnitus and vertigo in the early stage, so it is recommended that patients should go to the ENT department of the hospital in time for early detection and treatment, which basically has no effect on the human body.
