Prognosis Prognosis depends upon the size of the tumour and the extent of its growth. Most are fully resectable; however, some symptoms may remain post operatively. [healthengine.com.au]

Appears as a dumbbell/ovoid-shaped lesion at a similar position to that described on ultrasound 1,2,14: T1: typically low-to-iso signal T2: typically low signal but can sometimes be intermediate in signal T1 C+ (Gd): variable enhancement Treatment and prognosis [radiopaedia.org]

Outlook (Prognosis) An acoustic neuroma is not cancer. The tumor does not spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. However, it may continue to grow and press on structures in the skull. [nicklauschildrens.org]
