IGAN

Since 2007, IGAN (Acoustic Neuroma Interest Group) has been the leading platform in German-speaking countries for people affected by acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma)... The acoustic neuroma is a slowly growing brain tumor, and it develops from and on the nerve sheath of the equilibrium nerve, which, together with the auditory nerve, forms the 8th cranial nerve (vestibulocochlear nerve). «Vestibular schwannoma» is therefore a more specific medical term, while the term cerebellopontine angle tumor is a third synonym for this condition.
