Cerebellopontine Angle Tumor treatment in Huixquilucan

The cerebellopontine angle tumor is a growth that develops in the region where the brainstem and the cerebellum meet, near the nerves for hearing and balance; in most cases these are slow-growing tumors.

Common symptoms:

• Progressive hearing loss in one ear
• Ringing and balance problems or dizziness
• Sometimes, disturbances of facial sensation

When to see a doctor? It is worth investigating when hearing in a single ear gradually decreases or persistent dizziness appears.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the neurosurgeon are the professionals who evaluate and follow up on these cases. With symptoms that do not resolve, the recommended thing is a specialized assessment that pins down the diagnosis.
