How to Increase White Blood Cells. Leukocytes or white blood cells typically make up 4000-10,000 WBCs for every microliter of blood. If your white blood cell count drops below 3500 WBCs for every microliter of blood it causes a condition called leukopenia that causes cramps, fever, sore gums, diarrhea, sneezing, headaches, sore throat, etc. These are signs that your immune system is weak and you are susceptible to infection.
General Information. 1  Schwannomas are benign tumors of the nerve sheath that grow slowly and push nerve fibers aside. 2  Schwannomas can arise from any peripheral nerve containing Schwann cells, including cranial nerves. 3  The eighth cranial nerve is the most susceptible to schwannomas.
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.
