controversy. This review serves to introduce a renewed understanding of the efficacy of SRS …

BACKGROUND: The optimum treatment for cystic vestibular schwannoma (VS) remains
controversial. Anecdotally, many treating physicians feel that cystic VSs do not respond to …

Background Cystic vestibular schwannomas (VS) are associated with unpredictable growth
behavior and potentially worse surgical outcomes compared with their solid counterparts …
