Acoustic Neuroma
How is it diagnosed?
While a physical examination may identify some signs such as unilateral facial drooping, drooling or unsteadiness on walking, an acoustic neuroma is more likely to be diagnosed on a neurological assessment, taking the individual's history and performing other tests such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and hearing tests. The latter may also include tests of balance (electronystagmography and calorics) and a brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER).
