10 Symptoms of a Acoustic Neuroma
Symptom #3: Vertigo
Vertigo refers to the state where the patient feels as if the environment or objects around them are spinning or swaying when they are not. Vertigo can be associated with difficulties completing daily activities, nausea, vomiting, and sweating. It may worsen when one moves the head. It is a common symptom and can be seen in conditions such as Meniere’s disease, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, labyrinthitis, brain tumors, brain injury, stroke, migraines, and multiple sclerosis.
It is also a symptom seen in patients with acoustic neuroma. Patients experiencing vertigo should lie down and rest instead of trying to perform activities as this can lead to falls and further injury.
