Abstract
- Abstract Background Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are slowly growing tumor, deriving from the vestibular component of cranial nerve VIII. Primary treatment modalities include microsurgery, radiosurgery, a combination of microsurgery and radiosurgery, and conservative treatment. The management of VS is a matter of debate, particularly in case of small tumors (less than 2 cm in diameter size). Methods We performed an institutional retrospective review of a consecutive series of 28 surgically treated patients suffering from VS, operated in our institution. Patients were assigned on the ground of the preoperative imaging in two groups: tumors with major diameter of extra-meatal portion measuring ≥ 3 cm (Group I, 16 patients) and tumors with major diameter
