University Hospitals offers one of the few specialized centers in the United States for treatment of skull-base tumors.

Collaborating as a team, nationally recognized neurological surgeons, otologists, and other medical professionals draw upon their extensive clinical and research experience to devise the most appropriate therapy for each patient, using the most advanced technologies available. 
These may include the use of the powerful Gamma Knife or CyberKnife, which destroy brain malformations that were previously considered untreatable, without requiring a surgical incision.  Acoustic neuromas can now be more safely removed than in the past, and without further neurological damage.
