Causes of Acoustic Neuroma. What exactly causes acoustic neuroma is unknown.

However, people with risk factors do not always get acoustic neuroma, and people without risk factors can get it as well.
What causes neuromyelitis optica? With NMO, your immune system attacks a substance in your body called myelin â the insulation around your nerves.
