Overview
Acoustic neuromas are more common in adults, and rarely occur in children. The causes of acoustic neuromas are largely unknown. Relatively few studies have addressed this specific tumor type, as acoustic neuromas are seldom analyzed separately in risk factor analyses and are more often grouped under the general heading of brain tumors[1]
