Overview
Patients with acoustic neuroma usually appear normal. Physical examination of patients with acoustic neuroma is usually remarkable for Sensorineural hearing loss in the affected ear, positive Rinne test, abnormal Weber test, Papilledema, Nystagmus, Diplopia on lateral gaze, decreased or absent ipsilateral corneal reflex, facial twitching or hypesthesia, Drooling, drooping on one side of the face, loss of taste , and ataxia.
