Overview

Acoustic neuroma staging have been reported in several articles. Standardization of main symptoms grading is another important staging for description of patients' status.

Staging

Standardization of main symptoms grading 

For better description of patients' status then analyzing management strategy and outcome of the treatment, standardized grading for main symptoms have been made. Generally, the AAO-HNS Hearing Classification System, House-Brackmann Facial Nerve Grading System, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and Dizziness Handicap Inventory are widely accepted and used for Acoustic neuroma.

Tinnitus grading system for acoustic neuromas
Grade Description

I

No tinnitus

II

Intermittent or mild tinnitus, can only be heard when the ambient noise is low

III

Persistent or moderate tinnitus, can be heard every day

IV

Persistent and severe tinnitus, interfere with work and sleep
Dizziness grading system for acoustic neuromas
Grade Description

I

No dizziness or imbalance

II

Occasional and mild dizziness or imbalance

III

Persistent or moderate vertigo or imbalance

IV

Persistent and severe dizziness or imbalance, disturbing daily life

Tumor size and stages 

Numerous stage grading system ave been reported according to tumor size, but also for the first step description of the tumor size is more important and have measured by the maximum diameter (means the one measured in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) along the long axis) of the tumor.[1][2][3]
