National incidence data showed no overall increase
in the incidence of acoustic neuroma (ICD-10 D33.3)
in either men or women at ages 20–79 years in
England from 1998 to 2008 (Figure 2). Trends were
similar in men and women, but confidence intervals
were wide, as in each year there were only about 160
acoustic neuromas registered in men and 170 in
women.
