Acoustic Neuroma and Optic Nerve Glioma
The brain is a superhighway of complex and intricate systems that control every function of the human body, but what if something goes wrong? These are the cases of two interesting problems; Optic Nerve Gliomas and Acoustic Neuromas. Two forms of brain tumors that directly affect some of the body's most important functions sight, hearing, and balance. These tumors can affect the body beyond those in many adverse ways.
Acoustic Neuromas, or AN’s for the remainder of this paper, are found centrally wrapped around the main nerve connecting the functions of the ear with the brain. AN’s have no specific catalyst for appearing they simply just do. This can often scare many patients that feel inner ear pain
