Talk:Acoustic neuroma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adding some things to the first paragraph to lengthen and refine the description. Bdelisle 04:29, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting Clarification

Under the section on Conservative Treatment, there is a sentence that states,"Since the growth rate of an acoustic neuroma rarely accelerates, annual observation is essential." Does this mean that:
a) because the incidence of accelerated growth rate is so low, no more than a yearly check up is needed,
or,
b) although rare, in some instances the growth rate will accelerate, requiring yearly monitoring?
I know it seems trivial, but as someone who arrived here while attempting to educate myself on a condition I may have, it's a distinction that interests me a great deal at the moment.
Thanks in advance. --69.151.248.177 11:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
