The cost of acoustic neuroma treatment in Turkey varies depending on the treatment plan. A consultation with a neurosurgeon is approximately $140, while a radiologist consultation is around $120. An MRI of the brain with contrast and preparation for radiotherapy is priced at $1,550. Hearing tests, such as an audiogram, cost about $210, and a complete blood test is $160. Radiotherapy, specifically three fractions of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), is estimated at $4,300. Surgical intervention, such as tumor surgery with dura mater plastic and neuromonitoring, is approximately $18,750. The treatment plan and associated costs are finalized after a thorough assessment by the medical team.
