Causes of Acoustic Neuroma. What exactly causes acoustic neuroma is unknown. Certain risk factors -- such as age and a family history of neurofibromatosis type 2 -- may make a person more likely to develop this condition. However, people with risk factors do not always get acoustic neuroma, and people without risk factors can get it as well.
The cause of acoustic neuroma is not well understood. For most acoustic neuromas, the cause at the level of the cellular machinery is the failure of a âgovernorâ gene to exert its effect in suppressing the growth of Schwann cells - those cells responsible for coating nerve fibers with insulation.
