Although the technical aspects of nursing care and management of acoustic neuroma patients have been discussed in literature, both the apparent and subtle neurological and psychological residuals of acoustic tumor have been largely overlooked. Long-term sequelae, unless acute, usually are not attended by the neuroscience nurse. However, nursing instruction and enhanced care while hospitalized can prepare the patient for self-care and improve final recovery. Responses of 541 members of the Acoustic Neuroma Association to a multipart questionnaire on aspects of the acoustic neuroma experience reveal the nurse plays an important role in preparing the patient for maximum recovery after hospital discharge.

The authors present their experience of more than 25 years, now in excess of 1200 patients, with cerebellopontine angle tumors. This article focuses on the management of planned subtotal resection of acoustic tumors in five subjects, and unexpected "residual" discovered by MRI scanning in 10 cases, which represents, to the best of the authors' knowledge, a residual rate of 1% of operated patients. The rate of residual tumor is as high as 19% in some series and, in part, depends on the surgical approach. For the purpose of this article, the authors did not include their cases of neurofibromatosis, because these tumors behave differently than unilateral sporadic schwannomas.

Surgical treatment of acoustic neuroma has been reviewed in the medical literature, but assessment of outcome from the patient's perspective has received little attention. The Acoustic Neuroma Association (A.N.A.) is a large organization of acoustic neuroma patients which provides information and support services. This article reports the subjective assessment of symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome as evaluated by 541 A.N.A. members. This retrospective study presents an extensive overview of the experience of acoustic neuroma patients treated at a variety of institutions, and provides a unique perspective not previously represented in the medical literature.

Acoustic neuromas are benign tumors originating from the Schwann cells of the eighth cranial nerve. Symptoms occur related to compression and stretching of cranial nerves which alters their function. Surgical management is by middle fossa, translabyrinthine, suboccipital or combined approach craniotomy. Prevention and early recognition of postoperative complications are important aspects of nursing care for these clients. A holistic approach to client and family nursing needs is presented. Discharge planning should include assessment of client learning and home care needs. The Acoustic Neuroma Association as a source of information and support for these clients is discussed.
