Acoustic neuroma, also known as vestibular schwannoma, is a noncancerous tumour that develops in the inner ear. When it comes to treating acoustic neuromas, several options are available, including surgery, radiation therapy, and monitoring.

Rashda Norui, a 53-year-old woman from South Sudan, had been struggling with persistent inner ear pain and hearing loss. Despite constant complaints and medical consultations, it wasn't until a thorough examination that she was diagnosed with Acoustic Neuroma. This benign tumour was growing on the nerve connecting her ear and brain, affecting her hearing, balance, and facial movement. The diagnosis left Rashda feeling terrified and panicked.

Her husband, determined to find a solution and ease her fears, began researching treatments for Acoustic Neuroma online. During his search, he discovered our website and quickly connected with one of our patient coordinators, who soon became Rashda's case manager. The case manager reviewed all of Rashda's medical records and diagnosis reports and sent them to a top surgeon for evaluation. After a thorough review, it was determined that Rashda required surgery to remove the tumour.

Upon hearing the surgeon's opinion, Rashda’s husband asked the case manager to start making arrangements for Rashda’s treatment in India as they wanted to proceed as soon as possible. The case manager promptly handled all necessary paperwork and logistics, ensuring a smooth transition for Rashda and her husband. They soon arrived in India, where they were warmly welcomed and escorted to the hospital.

At the Artemis Hospital Gurgaon, they met the dedicated medical team responsible for Rashda 's care. The team, consisting of surgeons and specialists, provided Rashda with detailed information about the procedure and answered all her questions. Feeling reassured, Rashda decided to proceed with the surgery.

The operation was successful, with the Dr Aditya Gupta skilfully removing the tumor while preserving the facial nerve, thus preventing paralysis of the muscles in Rashda's face. Following the surgery, Rashda stayed in the hospital for a period of recovery, during which she received exceptional care and support from the medical staff. The initial phase of her recovery was challenging, but the attentive healthcare team made it much more manageable.

After being discharged from the Artemis hospital, Rashda continued her recovery and underwent supportive therapy to address symptoms and complications arising from the Acoustic Neuroma and its treatment, such as dizziness and balance problems. This therapy played a crucial role in helping her regain her strength and stability.

Today, Rashda is back in South Sudan, slowly but steadily recovering. She has joined a support group in her hometown, where she shares her experiences and listens to others who have faced similar challenges with Acoustic Neuroma. This community has provided her with emotional support and strength, contributing significantly to her healing journey.
