Changes in Gait Detected by Three-Dimensional Motion Analysis in Patients with Acoustic Neuroma
Many patients with acoustic neuroma experience hearing loss, tinnitus, and equilibrium disturbance. Gait studies performed using tactile sensors placed under the feet have indicated that an acoustic neuroma causes unstable gait, even though this cannot be detected by visual observation. Three-dimensional motion analysis is a useful tool to assess gait. The purpose of this study was to use a thr...
متن کاملAcoustic Neuromas.
Patients with acoustic neuromas have several treatment options that include observation, surgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, and fractionated radiotherapy. Resection is indicated for patients with larger tumors that have caused major neurologic deficits from brain compression. Surgeons perform stereotactic radiosurgery as the main alternative to acoustic tumor resection with the goal...
متن کاملVestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with acoustic neuromas.
BACKGROUND To diagnose acoustic neuromas (ANs), the auditory brainstem response test and the caloric test have been used in addition to magnetic resonance imaging. The auditory brainstem response and the caloric tests mainly reflect functions of the auditory pathway, ie, the cochlear nerve and the superior vestibular nerve, respectively. Because the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) h...
متن کاملAcoustic neuromas in children.
Although unilateral acoustic neuromas in children are rare, they do occur. There is no gender predilection and the clinical symptoms and signs are similar to those seen in adults. They tend to occur in the absence of neurofibromatosis and are usually benign. Our patient is the youngest yet reported with documented unilateral acoustic neuroma; moreover; she is the first child in whom this tumor ...
