The newly diagnosed vestibular schwannoma: radiosurgery, resection, or observation?
OBJECT Management recommendations for patients with smaller-volume or newly diagnosed vestibular schwannomas (< 4 cm(3)) need to be based on an understanding of the anticipated natural history of the tumor and the side effects it produces. The natural history can then be compared with the risks and benefits of therapeutic intervention using a minimally invasive strategy such as stereotactic rad...

متن کامل[High-grade glioma after stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma].
Stereotactic radiosurgery undoubtedly represents an important therapeutic procedure for various intracranial pathologies, especially tumours, although they are not entirely complication-free. Radiosurgery have been considered a good management strategy for the majority of small-to-medium size vestibular schwannomas. The authors describe a case of high-grade glioma associated with a previous rad...
متن کاملMalignant transformation of a vestibular schwannoma after gamma knife radiosurgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is used to treat benign tumours, but its long-term effects are not fully understood. Here we describe a vestibular schwannoma that underwent malignant transformation 6 years after gamma knife radiosurgery applied to the tumour remnant after a primary resection. Histological specimens of the original specimen did not show any atypical features. Genotyping showed a TP53 ...
