Overview
Acoustic neuroma must be differentiated from meningioma, intracranial epidermoid cyst, facial nerve schwannoma, trigeminal schwannoma, ependymoma, leiomyoma, intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST), gastrointestinal stromal tumor, neurofibroma, Meniere's disease, and Bell's palsy.[1]
Differential Diagnosis
Acoustic neuroma must be differentiated from:[2]
- Meningioma
- Intracranial epidermoid cyst
- Facial nerve schwannoma
- Trigeminal schwannoma
- Ependymoma
- Metastasis
- Leiomyoma
- Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumor
- MPNST - schwannoma with ancient change has no significant mitotic activity[3]
- Neurofibroma
- Meniere's disease
- Bell's palsy
Differentiating features of common differential diagnosis are:[1]
| Disease/Condition | Differentiating Signs/Symptoms | Findings on CT or MRI |
|---|---|---|
| Meningioma |
|
|
| Intracranial epidermoid cyst |
|
|
| Facial nerve schwannoma |
|
|
| Trigeminal schwannoma |
|
|
