Auditory neuroma with cystic degeneration means that there is fluid inside the tumor of the auditory nerve, that is, there is cystic occupation, if the degree of cystic degeneration is heavy and produces compression symptoms, there is a certain risk to the organism, which may cause increased intracranial pressure, and in serious cases, it is life-threatening.
1. Auditory neuroma with cystic degeneration can be examined by MRI or CT, after cystic degeneration occurs, the growth rate of the tumor of the auditory nerve is relatively fast, and after the volume increases, it may compress the peripheral nerves and the brainstem, resulting in the increase of intracranial pressure, and in serious cases, it will lead to the cerebellar crisis, which will endanger the life.
2. Auditory neuroma is the most common benign tumor in otorhinosurgery, sometimes accompanied by cystic degeneration, which usually needs to improve the relevant examination, and if it produces compression symptoms, it is necessary to carry out surgical resection of acoustic nerve sheath tumor in time, so as to reduce the impact of cystic degeneration on the cranial brain.
Therefore, if the diagnosis of acoustic neuroma with cystic degeneration is confirmed, it is recommended to consult the doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
