Abstract

To investigate the relationship between vestibular schwannoma (VS) size and the dysfunction and compensation of the vestibular system. One hundred fifty-two patients with unilateral VS were investigated using multiple auditory-vestibular function tests such as audiometry, sensory organization test (SOT), caloric test, cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) test, and ocular VEMP (oVEMP) test. In this study, 89% of patients with unilateral VS had mild to severe hearing loss on the involved side. All patients showed higher threshold values or no response in the cVEMP and oVEMP tests, which both exhibited a lower response rate on the affected side than on the unaffected side. Patients with a tumor size ≥ 30 mm had significantly lower equilibrium scores for condition 5 and condition 6 of the SOT, which were associated with vestibular dysfunction, higher rates of canal paresis in the caloric test, and lower response rates in the cVEMP and oVEMP tests on the affected sides, compared with the results of patients with a tumor size ≤ 14 mm and patients with a tumor size of 15-29 mm. A diameter > 30 mm may be the critical threshold at which vestibular function is affected and vestibular compensation is interfered with by a ...Continue Reading
