Abstract
To assess the factors affecting early local and audiometric outcomes in vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). A retrospective review of medical records. Tertiary referral center. Records of all adult patients who underwent SRS between 2010 and 2016 for the treatment of VS were retrospectively reviewed. Patients treated with microsurgery or multi-fractionation schemes, and those who had neurofibromatosis type 2, were excluded. SRS, tumor volume/size measurements. The impact of tumor volume dynamics on the early local and hearing-related outcomes, together with the factors that influence them following SRS, and comparison of different tumor size measurement methods. From 2010 to 2016, 53 patients underwent single fraction SRS of 12 Gy. Median follow-up time was 32 months (range, 6-79). At the last follow-up, only one patient had clinical progression. Age less than or equal to 65 years (p = 0.04; odds ratio [OR]: 0.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.03-0.93) and baseline pure-tone average (PTA) level less than or equal to 30 dB (p = 0.03; OR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.84-0.96) were associated with maintenance of serviceable hearing. On multivariate analysis, PTA remained significant (p = 0.01; OR...Continue Reading
