Immunophenotype of Vestibular Schwannomas

Otology & Neurotology, 2020
Background: Vestibular schwannomas exhibit a uniquely variable natural history of growth, stability, or even spontaneous regression. We hypothesized that a transitory population of immune cells, or immunomodulation of tumors cells, may influence the growth pattern of schwannomas.

Incidence of vestibular schwannomas

The Laryngoscope, 1999
AbstractObjective: To determine the incidence of vestibular schwannoma (VS) in Denmark in a period of 191/2 years. Study Design: Retrospective review of prospective registered data on all patients with VS operated on by the translabyrinthine, lateral suboccipital, or middle cranial fossa approach, as well as patients who were allocated to the “wait‐and‐

Hypervascular vestibular schwannomas

Surgical Neurology, 2002
Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is usually hypovascular and can be resected totally without major morbidity. Resection of the more uncommon hypervascular VS is complicated by excessive tumor bleeding. We have attempted to clarify the clinical characteristics and management of hypervascular VS.Surgical reports and videos of 78 patients with unilateral VS (5 ...

Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannomas

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2013
This article investigates the role of radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy in the management of vestibular schwannomas (VS), reviewing the authors' own prospective cohort and the current literature. For patients with large Stage IV VS (according to the Koos classification), a combined approach with deliberate partial microsurgical removal ...

Vestibular Schwannomas in Children

Otology & Neurotology, 2001
This article highlights the clinical presentation and management issues of unilateral vestibular schwannomas in children. We demonstrate how the presentation differs from neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and from adult unilateral vestibular schwannomas.This article is composed of a series of three cases and a literature review.The study was performed at ...

Vestibular Schwannomas

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1987
Over the past two decades, the emphasis on the management of acoustic neuromas has turned from the single goal of preserving the patient's life to early diagnosis and functional preservation of cranial nerves.

Growth characteristics of vestibular schwannomas

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2009
To assess the growth characteristics of small- to medium-sized vestibular schwannomas in patients undergoing watch, wait, and rescan management.Cohort study using prospectively collected size and tumor morphology data.Tertiary referral center for cranial base surgery.Three hundred eighty-one patients with sporadic unilateral vestibular schwannomas and ...

Vestibular Schwannomas

2010
Vestibular Schwannomas are well treated by GKNS. This can be used alone for tumors up to 20cm3. For larger tumors subtotal, intracapsular resection followed by GKNS a few months later would seem to give the best results. While there remain disagreements relating to optimal treatment for VSs among colleagues using different techniques, there are ...

Genomics of vestibular schwannoma

The majority of vestibular schwannomas occur as solitary tumors in otherwise healthy individuals with no family history of vestibular schwannomas, while approximately 5% are associated with the tumor suppressor syndrome, NF2-related schwannomatosis. However, pathogenic variants in the NF2 gene are by far the most common genetic aberration found in both

Dizziness in vestibular schwannomas

Dizziness associated with vestibular schwannomas can be considered a diagnostic feature, a posttreatment challenge, or an issue in patients undergoing a wait-and-scan approach. Regardless of the scenario, dizziness has the potential to significantly impact patient quality of life and therefore requires careful assessment and management.
