Hello to all.
My name is Nikos, I am 45 years old and I am from Greece. My knowledge in english language is not great, so excuse me in advance for any mistake I will make.
Three weeks ago I made an MRI and I was diagnosed with AN (Acoustic Neuroma) in my left side. It is a big one, about 3.5 x 2.7 cm. My symptoms are of course a degree of hear loss in my left ear, not constantly tinnitus and some problems of coordinations.
I have also insomnia and emotional problems but if there are related with the AN or not it is debatable.
From what I have read and after a first visit to a general neurologist I understand that it is very possible to undergo a surgery. After Christmass I will search for specialized neurosurgeons in Greece. The problem is that my country is rather small and the doctors here maybe they do not have much experience about my condition. So I would like to ask if anyone knows any spesialized clinics and neurosurgeons in Germany. Untill now I have found in internet the " INI – International Neuroscience Institute" in Hannover but I am sure that there are more.
Thank you for your time.
Nikos.
