Development of a Predictive Model for Persistent Dizziness Following Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery.

Objective: In an era of vestibular schwannoma (VS) surgery where functional preservation is increasingly emphasized, persistent postoperative dizziness is a relatively understudied functional outcome. The primary objective was to develop a predictive model to identify patients at risk for developing persistent postoperative dizziness after VS resection.

Methods: Retrospective review of patients who underwent VS surgery at our institution with a minimum of 12 months of postoperative follow-up.
