One of the most common conditions that we treat in the skull base is the acoustic neuroma.
There are several ways we can deal with these tumors. It’s important to us at Penn Medicine ENT that we choose the best approach for each individual patient.
The goal is to make sure the most concerning aspects for the patient are addressed and really let people take a broader view of what’s going on to assess all of their options.
If surgery is chosen as the best approach, we aim to remove the tumor safely while preserving the facial nerve, or the nerve that controls movement in the face.
What sets Penn Medicine apart is our level of experience in treating these tumors. For the best possible outcome, patients deserve doctors who work on these conditions every single week. We’re proud to have developed the technical skills, expertise and judgment to provide the best care possible.
