Sporadic vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are rare in children. When occurred in the pediatric population, they usually appear bilaterally and are related to neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). The current study reports a 4-year-old boy without family …

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)-related schwannomatosis is a genetic disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance caused by germline alterations in the NF2 tumor suppressor gene located on the long arm of chromosome 22 [ 1 , 2 ], affecting young …

There are several surgical approaches for vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection. However, management has gradually shifted from microsurgical resection, toward surveillance and radiosurgery. One of the arguments against microsurgery via the middle …

Endoscopy in vestibular schwannoma surgery initially had a complementary role to the retrosigmoid microsurgical approach. With endoscopic guidance, access to the intrameatal portion of the lesions was made possible while minimizing damage to the …

Vestibular schwannomas (VS), also known as acoustic neuromas, are benign intracranial tumours that arise from Schwann cells lining the vestibular component of the vestibulocochlear nerve. They represent 8% of all brain tumours and approximately …

Rates of hearing preservation in large vestibular schwannomas (VS) range from 21 to 54% [ 1 , 4 , 8 ]. In this How I Do It, we apply the technique of vestibular-nerve-fiber preservation for resection of large VS. This technique takes advantage of …

Active surveillance management of vestibular schwannoma (VS), which has been called wait-and-scan, is increasingly adapted for patients with a benign tumor originating from Schwann cells surrounding the eighth cranial nerve and resulting in …

Vestibular schwannoma (VS) represents a pathologically benign tumor. Microsurgical techniques have been refined over prior decades, with an emphasis on maximum functional preservation and quality of life. Management decisions by surgeons and their …

Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are the most common type of tumor in the cerebellopontine angle and arise from the eighth cranial nerve [ 24 , 60 ]. Available data reported its prevalence ranging from 0.017 to 2.4% of the population [ 16 , 24 ]. In the …

Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are benign tumors originating from the Schwann cells of the vestibular nerve [ 1 ]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for VS diagnosis, tumor size measurement, and evaluation of tumor growth [ 2 ].

Vestibular schwannomas (VS) account for approximately 8% of all intracranial neoplasms. Importantly, the cost of the diagnostic workup for VS, including the screening modalities most commonly used, has not been thoroughly investigated. Our aim is …

Vestibular schwannoma (VS), also known as acoustic neuroma, is a benign tumor originating from vestibulocochlear (the eighth) cranial nerve’s Schwann cells. It accounts for approximately 85% of the cerebellopontine angle tumors [ 1 ]. The incidence …

Malignant transformation of vestibular schwannoma (VS) post-radiosurgery is an extremely rare but life-threatening complication. We present a patient who underwent two surgeries for a benign VS and received Gamma Knife radiosurgery for residual …

Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign tumors that develop from Schwann cells surrounding the vestibular branches of the vestibulocochlear nerve, located in the internal auditory canal. The vast majority of them (95%) are unilateral and sporadic …

Vestibular schwannoma (VS), or acoustic neuroma, is a benign, slow-growing tumor caused by an overproliferation of Schwann cells on the vestibular branch of cranial nerve (CN) VIII [ 1 – 4 ]. The annual incidence of VS ranges from 11 to 22 per …
