A systematic review and meta-analysis of stereotactic radiosurgery as a primary treatment in fast-growing vestibular schwannomas.

Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery has been shown to be an effective method of managing vestibular schwannomas. The primary aim here is to establish the impact of pre-treatment fast-growing vestibular schwannomas on the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery.

Methods: PubMed, Medline and Embase databases were used.

Spontaneous Vestibular Schwannoma Regression: A Case-Control Study.

Objective: To explore the nature of spontaneously regressing vestibular schwannomas (VS) and identify possible predictive factors for such behavior.

Study Design: Retrospective case control study.

Setting: Tertiary referral center, university teaching hospital.
