[one case of the acoustic neuroma]The patient thanked me very much for my advice and praised my superb medical skills
She came to Auckland from Cook Island to thank me. Last year, she wanted acupuncture and moxibustion for her unsteady walking and hearing loss. I listened to her medical history and performed a neurological examination. I found that she had a facial sensory loss, from balance disorders, hearing loss, and facial sensory loss. I judged that she had a high possibility of nerve compression, and I suggested that she go for a head MRI. After she returned to the local area, she immediately went to see a neurologist and had an MRI. She found a large lump on the left side of her head, and the doctor arranged for surgery. After surgery, the case was reported as an acoustic neuroma. After the operation, he recovered well. He stopped falling when he walked, his hearing recovered to some extent, and his face was still numb.
