Malignant transformation of vestibular schwannoma following radiosurgery-a case report and review of the literature.

Malignant transformation of vestibular schwannoma (VS) post-radiosurgery is an extremely rare but life-threatening complication. We present a patient who underwent two surgeries for a benign VS and received Gamma Knife radiosurgery for residual tumour. Five and a half years post-radiosurgery, the patient was reoperated for symptomatic recurrence of the tumour.
