Defining clinically significant tumor size in sporadic vestibular schwannoma to inform timing of radiosurgery during wait-and-scan management: further evidence supporting size threshold surveillance.
[OBJECTIVE] Wait-and-scan surveillance is now commonly employed for initial management of small- and medium-sized vestibular schwannomas. Although small differences in tumor size are unlikely to impact outcomes significantly, treatment with…

Impact of Vestibular Schwannoma Management on Cochlear Implant Programming and Outcomes.
[OBJECTIVES] To compare electrical stimulation and speech perception in vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients across treatment modalities and standard cochlear implant (CI) patients. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective review. [SETTING] Tertiary a…

Salvage radiosurgery following subtotal resection of vestibular schwannomas: does timing influence tumor control?
[OBJECTIVE] The goal of microsurgical resection of vestibular schwannoma (VS) is gross-total resection (GTR) to provide oncological cure. However, a popular strategy is to halt the resection if the surgical team feels the risk of cranial ne…

Cochlear Implant Outcomes between Patients with Sporadic and Neurofibromatosis Type 2-Associated Vestibular Schwannoma.
[OBJECTIVE] Compare cochlear implant (CI) performance between patients with ipsilateral sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) and NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2). Compare CI performance according to VS management modality. [STUDY DESIGN] H…

Defining clinically significant tumor size in vestibular schwannoma to inform timing of microsurgery during wait-and-scan management: moving beyond minimum detectable growth.
[OBJECTIVE] Detection of vestibular schwannoma (VS) growth during observation leads to definitive treatment at most centers globally. Although ≥ 2 mm represents an established benchmark of tumor growth on serial MRI studies, 2 mm of linear …

Long-term surgical outcomes of intracranial epidermoid tumors: impact of extent of resection on recurrence and functional outcomes in 63 patients.
[OBJECTIVE] The authors' objective was to reevaluate the role of microsurgery for epidermoid tumors by examining the associations between extent of resection (EOR), tumor control, and clinical outcomes. [METHODS] This was a retrospective s…

Hearing Preservation Microsurgery in Vestibular Schwannomas: Worth Attempting in "Larger" Tumors?
[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] To review hearing preservation after microsurgical resection of sporadic vestibular schwannomas according to tumor size. [STUDY DESIGN] Retrospective cohort. [METHODS] Baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative pa…
-
Predicting Extent of Microsurgical Resection of Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma.
[OBJECTIVE] Develop a predictive model for incomplete microsurgical resection of sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS). [STUDY DESIGN] Historical cohort. [SETTING] Tertiary referral center. [PATIENTS] Patients with sporadic VS. [INTERVENT…

Fluorescein-Assisted Microsurgical Resection of Vestibular Schwannoma: A Prospective Feasibility Study.
[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the optimal dose and timing of administration of sodium fluorescein (SF) for selective fluorescence of sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) during microsurgery with the YELLOW 560-nm microscope filter (YE560) and to c…
-
Prospective Study of Disease-Specific Quality-of-Life in Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma Comparing Observation, Radiosurgery, and Microsurgery.
[BACKGROUND] Previous cross-sectional studies analyzing quality of life (QOL) outcomes in patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) have shown surprisingly little difference among treatment modalities. To date, there is limited pros…

Long-term outcomes of grade I/II skull base chondrosarcoma: an insight into the role of surgery and upfront radiotherapy.
[PURPOSE] To clarify the need for post-operative radiation treatment in skull base chondrosarcomas (SBCs). [METHODS] A retrospective analysis of patients with grade I or II SBC. Patients were divided according to post-surgical treatment st…

Surgery versus radiosurgery for facial nerve schwannoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis of facial nerve function, postoperative complications, and progression.
[OBJECTIVE] Intracranial facial nerve schwannomas (FNS) requiring treatment are frequently recommended for surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The objective of this study was to compare facial nerve function outcomes between these t…

Large and small vestibular schwannomas: same, yet different tumors.
[BACKGROUND] Vestibular schwannomas (VS) present at variable size with heterogeneous symptomatology. Modern treatment paradigms for large VS include gross total resection, subtotal resection (STR) in combination with observation, and/or rad…
