There is a possibility of recurrence and enlargement of the residual foci after surgery for acoustic neuroma, so it is best for patients to have a lifelong (lifetime) review. Auditory neuroma, also known as vestibular nerve sheath tumor, is a benign tumor originating from Schwann cells of the vestibular nerve sheath membrane; the etiology of acoustic neuroma is still unclear and involves genetic, physical, chemical and other factors; the main treatment for acoustic neuroma is surgical resection. During the surgery of acoustic neuroma, there may be residual foci of the tumor or because of the patient’s own physical condition, the acoustic neuroma may recur again, which may cause the patient to suffer from hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and other symptoms; the review can help the patient to judge the postoperative recovery situation as well as to find out the abnormalities early, which is conducive to the early treatment and thus improves the patient’s prognosis. Therefore, patients should follow the doctor’s instructions for follow-up and review after the surgery for acoustic neuroma, and should go to the hospital for timely treatment if they have any physical discomfort after the surgery.
