In most cases of acoustic neuroma, there is no known cause. This faulty gene is also inherited in neurofibromatosis type 2, a rare disorder that usually involves the growth of tumors on the hearing and balance nerves on both sides of your head (bilateral vestibular schwannomas).
A schwannoma is a tumor that develops from Schwann cells in your peripheral nervous system or nerve roots. They're almost always benign and slow-growing.

Some schwannomas do not cause symptoms. Others cause pain, numbness, weakness or tingling. Treatment for schwannomas includes observation and monitoring, and surgery for tumors that restrict movement, cause pain or other symptoms, or become cancerous.
Neuroma. A neuroma is a disorganized growth of nerve cells at the site of a nerve injury. A neuroma occurs after a nerve is partially or completely disrupted by an injury — either due to a cut, a crush, or an excessive stretch.
A neuroma of the foot describes what happens when nerves between the bones and ligaments in the ball of your foot, the area just before your toes, become pinched. The swelling of these nerves is most common at the base of the middle three toes.
The term neuroma refers to a painful inflammation that can occur in one of the nerves at the bottom of the foot. The space (interspace) between the third and fourth toes is most commonly affected by the space between the second and third toes the next most commonly involved.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D36.13 became effective on October 1, 2021.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
Chondroma (9220/0) is a benign tumor of cartilage cells. The ICD-O-3 Manual shows the code for bone in parentheses next to the morphology. Review the record carefully to determine if the tumor originated in bone or in an intracranial site. Because chondroma is a benign tumor, only complete an abstract if the primary tumor is in an intracranial site. A chondroma of the skull is not reportable.
Intracranial schwannoma (9560/0) is reportable for cases diagnosed January 1, 2004 and later. It is difficult to determine the intracranial site of a schwannoma. Assign the primary site for intracranial schwannoma to cranial nerves NOS (C72.5) when the site is not documented in the health record.
A chondroma of the skull is not reportable. Chordoma is a malignant tumor arising from the embryonic notochord, and chondrosarcoma (9220/3) is a malignant tumor of cartilage cells.
A vestibular schwannoma is a benign primary intracranial tumor of the myelin-forming cells of the vestibulocochlear nerve (8th crani al nerve). A type of schwannoma, this tumor arises from the Schwann cells responsible for the myelin sheath that helps keep peripheral nerves insulated. Although it is commonly called an acoustic neuroma, this a misnomer for two reasons. First, the tumor usually arises from the vestibular division of the vestibulocochlear nerve, rather than the cochlear division. Second, it is derived from the schwann cells of the associated nerve, rather than the actual neurons (neuromas).
D33.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of cranial nerves. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Management options include observation with serial MRIs, partial or total surgical removal, and radiation therapy. For patients with the syndrome neurofibromatosis type 2 who have severe disease burden – vestibular schwannomas affecting both ears and other intracranial or spinal tumors – medical treatments would include molecular therapy as well as other therapies such as Avastin. May be available to reduce the size of the tumors, delay tumor growth, and preserve or restore hearing. The treatment is tailored to the individual, and depends upon the patient’s symptoms, hearing level, health status, age, and the growth rate of the tumor, and the wishes of the patient.
Vestibular schwannoma, also called acoustic neuroma, is a benign tumor involving the hearing and balance nerve at the base of the brain. It occurs in is about 1 per 100,000 people per year. Acoustic neuromas do not spread throughout the body, but can cause significant disability, including hearing loss, dizziness, facial numbness, and, rarely in this era, even death, by local growth into nearby important brain structures.
The definitive diagnostic test is an MRI with gadolinium enhancement. However, this test should only be obtained following appropriate clinical evaluation, and hearing, and balance testing where indicated.
Early symptoms of an acoustic neuroma include hearing loss, distorted sound perception, tinnitus, dizziness, and disequilibrium. Later symptoms may include headache, unsteadiness, facial pain, tingling, or numbness, facial tics or weakness, double vision, and difficulty in swallowing or talking.
Any patient undergoing surgery for removal of an Acoustic Neuroma should have the tumor documented by MRI as long as it is possible.

Vestibular schwannoma is a rare tumor of the posterior fossa originating in the Schwann cells of the vestibular transitional zone of the vestibulocochlear nerve that can be benign, small, slow growing and asymptomatic or large, faster growing and aggressive and potentially fatal, presenting with symptoms of hearing and balance impairment, vertigo, ataxia, headache and fifth, sixth or seventh cranial nerve dysfunction and facial numbness..
