Treatment of Neurinoma at Top Ichilov

The treatment protocol for neurinoma at Top Ichilov clinic is developed taking into account the results of diagnostic examinations, the characteristics of the structure and localization of the tumour, and the general condition of the patient. In cases of small-sized neurinomas that do not manifest clinically, systematic monitoring of their growth under MRI control is prescribed.

Surgical treatment. This method allows for the most radical removal of the neoplasm. The use of neuro-navigation systems and stereotactic equipment by the center's surgeons allows for the removal of the neurinoma without harming the surrounding tissues. At the same time, the risks of complications are minimized, and the recovery period is significantly shortened.

Radiosurgery. Today, this is one of the most effective methods for combating neurinoma. Its application does not require violation of the integrity of the skull or its trepanation. The growth of the tumour is halted as a result of exposure to focused ionizing radiation. By directing it from different angles, it is possible to most effectively impact the tumour tissues. The surrounding tissues are minimally damaged, and no side effects from such treatment develop. This method of treatment is comfortable for the patient and painless. Depending on the size and localization of the tumour, from 1 to 10 sessions of this therapy are indicated.

The doctors at Top Ichilov center are happy to assist their patients in the qualified treatment of neurinoma.

Diagnosis of Neurinoma in Israel

Neurinoma is characterized by the appearance of a neoplasm on Schwann cells. These cells are part of the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. Neurinoma can affect any peripheral nerves, but it is most often localized on the auditory nerve. Typically, the nature of the neurinoma is benign, and it is most frequently diagnosed in women. The prolonged course of this disease can lead to complications in the form of tumour invasion into nearby tissues, provoking characteristic symptoms.

Methods of Diagnosing Neurinoma at Top Ichilov

Diagnosis of neurinoma at the Top Ichilov medical center is conducted using the most modern informative techniques:

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It allows for the detection of formations in soft tissues and assessing the extent of their spread;
• Electronystagmography. This type of specific neurological study allows for the assessment of the severity of such a characteristic symptom of neurinoma development as nystagmus;
• Computed Tomography. It helps clarify the localization and structure of the neurinoma;
• Audiogram. This study is prescribed to assess hearing impairment.
