Focus on nerves function protection and develop modern surgery for vestibular schwannoma
Vestibular schwannoma is the most common intracranial schwannoma. The treatment concept is changing from simple surgical resection to the integrated strategy of observation and follow⁃up, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and surgical resection.

Vestibular neuritis spares the inferior division of the vestibular nerve [PDF]
Acute unilateral vestibulopathy, or vestibular neuritis, is the second most common cause of vertigo. To quantify the involvement of the different semicircular canal (SCC) afferents in this disease, we studied the three-dimensional (3D) properties of the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) in 16 patients 3-10 days after onset of symptoms.

HSV-1 not only in human vestibular ganglia but also in the vestibular labyrinth [PDF]
Reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the vestibular ganglion (VG) is the suspected cause of vestibular neuritis (VN). Recent studies reported the presence of HSV-1 DNA not only in human VGs but also in vestibular nuclei, a finding that ...
