Unilateral/asymmetric hearing loss and/or [[tinnitus]] and loss of balance/[[dizziness]] are early signs of a vestibular schwannoma. Unfortunately, early detection of the tumor is sometimes difficult because the symptoms may be subtle and may not appear in the beginning stages of growth. Also, [[hearing loss]], [[dizziness]], and [[tinnitus]] are common symptoms of many middle and inner ear problems (the important point here is that unilateral or asymmetric symptoms are the worrisome ones).

Overview

Symptoms of intracranial schwannoma include hearing loss, tinnitus, dysphagia, ataxia, Vertigo, Facial weakness, Dizziness, spinal schwannomas present with Back pain, Urinary incontinence, Urinary retention, Clumsiness, Weakness, Paresthesias


Symptoms

Symptoms of schwannoma depend on the location of the tumor.[1]

  • Intracranial schwannoma:
  • Trigeminal schwannoma
  • Facial nerve schwannoma
  • Jugular foramen schwannoma
  • Hypoglossal schwannomas
  • Spinal schwannoma
  • Intercostal nerve schwannoma
  • Usually asymptomatic
  • Intramuscular schwannoma
