This study aimed to explore the effect of observation, microsurgery, and radiotherapy for patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS). We searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library from their establishment to July 31, 2024. 34 non-RCTs and 1 RCT that included 6 interventions were analyzed.

While single-fraction Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has shown efficacy in managing vestibular schwannomas (VSs), some concerns have been raised regarding its safety profile, particularly in the context of hearing preservation. Hypofractionation has emerged as a promising approach to improving the safety profile. This retrospective, single-institution study evaluated patient outcomes following hypofractionated GKRS (hf-GKRS) for treatment-naïve Koos grade IV VSs.

Background And Objectives: In the past, microscopic transcranial approach was the mainstay of treatment of trigeminal schwannomas. In recent years, several endoscopic procedures have been reported for trigeminal schwannomas. For trigeminal schwannomas arising around the Meckel cave, we introduced a fully endoscopic procedure with a small temporal craniotomy in June 2020 and have performed radical tumor removal as in the conventional approach.

We describe a case of a 57-year-old woman presenting initially with diplopia who later developed retro-orbital and retroauricular pain. Examination showed right abducens nerve palsy and subsequent right trigeminal nerve hyperesthesia. Neuroimaging revealed a well-defined mass confined to the right cavernous sinus, with high T2 signal intensity and homogeneous enhancement on postgadolinium T1-weighted images.
