Arises from the vestibular nerve
B
Accounts for 10% of intracranial tumour in adults
C
Dural tail present on MRI scan
D
Originate in the internal auditory canal
High-Yield Explanation
Vestibular schwannomas or acoustic neuromas originate in the internal auditory canal from the inferior or superior poion of the vestibular nerve. Acoustic neuromas account for 8% to 10% of all intracranial tumours in adults. The lack of a dural tail on MRI differentiates acoustic neuromas from cerebellopontine angle meningiomas. Most tumours are unilateral. Genetic association is with a lack of tumour suppressor gene on Chromosome 22.
