Hi and congratulations for the site.

The case of acoustic neuroma is detected via the method of Brain MRI and MRA?

Thank you,

Did you ever find out what your issue was? Hubby has what im pretty sure is an acoustic neuroma. They did a MRI without dye and they say there is buildup of fluid. They want to do another CT.

Brain MRI WITH contrast and focusing specifically on the inner-ear area. An MRI without contrast might show an acoustic neuroma, but I think that to rule out even a small acoustic neuroma, you need to have it done with contrast. (That is the "gold standard.")
