CT scan

[Lawri]

Has anyone been diagnosed with AN from a CT scan or is it only detected on an MRI scan please?

Mine was diagnosed by MRI.

Spotted mine on CT and confirmed with MRI all at Luton and Dunstable hospital within 24 hours

Thank you. I had a CT scan but didn't show anything and I am worried that if not offered an MRI scan it will be missed

[Lawri in reply to Frizby]

What we're your symptoms please?

Facial numbness on the day prompted me to go to casualty thinking I was having a stroke . In hindsight had developed text book symptoms over years prior to diagnosis including reduced hearing on one side and reduced balance.

It is better to get an MRI because sometimes they don’t see it on the CAT scan

Thank you. I have now had am.MRI and the GP said no Accoustic Neuroma was seen. I saw an ENT Consultant and he said my deafness is due to damage to my accoustic nerve. I am.now waiting for a letter from the Consultant confirming their MRI review.
