BACKGROUND Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign tumors derived from Schwann
cells ensheathing the vestibulocochlear nerve. The retrosigmoid (RS) surgical approach is …

Non-invasive tumor control of vestibular schwannomas through stereotactic radiosurgery
allows for high rates of long-term tumor control and has been used primarily for small and …

Objective To undertake a cost‐effectiveness analysis comparing conservative management,
surgery and radiosurgery for treating small‐to‐medium (1–20 mm)‐sized vestibular …

Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein levels are known to increase in patients with
vestibular schwannomas (VS) with concomitant hydrocephalus, however the only …

Objective: Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been established as an effective and safe
treatment for intracranial Schwannoma. However, communicating hydrocephalus can occur …

The purpose of this cohort study was to determine the incidence of communicating
hydrocephalus (HCP) associated with the treatment of vestibular schwannoma (VS) …

PURPOSE: To identify the effect of brain atrophy on the development of symptomatic
communicating hydrocephalus (SCHCP) after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for sporadic …

Recent literature has described the development of a normal pressure hydrocephalus after
Gamma Knife radiosurgery in patients with vestibular schwannoma. However, there is …

Objective Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been established as an effective and safe
treatment for intracranial schwannoma. However, serious complications can occur after …

Positional brain shift (PBS) is the term given to the displacement of the brain which occurs
