Schwannomas (SCs) are benign tumors composed of neoplastic Schwann cells and are relatively uncommon intracranially. Although these tumors are frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), they may also arise idiopathically, and their pathogenesis remains poorly understood. A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with a two-month history of vertigo, gait imbalance, and decreased visual acuity in the left eye accompanied by photophobia, nausea, vomiting, and occasional headaches.

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.
