Abstract
Acoustic neuroma excision in patients with cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumours offers particular rehabilitation problems due to the complicated architecture of the cerebellum and brainstem tissues involved. CPA tumours (acoustic neuromas) are slow-growing tumours that arise from the vestibulocochlear nerve. Surgical excision of these tumours can cause neurological abnormalities that compromise motor coordination, balance, and facial nerve function. The case study emphasises the importance of a comprehensive physiotherapeutic approach in rehabilitating a patient following acoustic neuroma excision, with a focus on particular CPA tumour deficits. The rehabilitation programme focuses on improving functional outcomes through balance, proprioception, and vestibular rehabilitation that is customised to the demands and deficiencies of the patient. Our comprehensive approach seeks to improve patients' quality of life, promote neurological healing, and support easy reintegration into normal activities following CPA tumour surgery.
