Vestibular SchwannomaSurgical management and outcomes
Ching-Jen (Jared) ChenVisiting Sub-Intern
University of Virginia
Patient MM• 48yo M w/ L-sided tinnitus and dysequilibrium since 2009.• MRI 2010 revealed 5mm L vestibular schwannoma (purely
intracanalicular).– No intervention, followed with serial scans.
• MRI 2012 revealed schwannoma had extended to just outside the IAC.
• Audiogram showed mild L sensorineural hearing loss.• Referred to MGH for surgical consideration.
Patient MM (cont’d)
• PMH:– Hx of Afib w/ spontaneous conversion to NSR– Viral pericarditis– S/p R knee surgery– S/p R shoulder surgery
• SH: Denies tobacco and illicits, rare EtOH.• FH: Non-contributory, no hx of vestibular schwannomas.• MEDS: ASA 81 QDaily• ALL: NKDA• EXAM: NI, except slightly decreased hearing in L ear• Decided to undergo microsurgical resection via retrosigmoid
approach

5mm L Vestibular Schwannoma, purely intracanalicular.
Enlarging L Vestibular Schwannoma, 11mm. Projects just beyond medial aspect of porous acusticus.
6 mo s/p microsurgical GTR, via retrosigmoid approach. W/o evidence of residual/recurrent tumor.
T1-PostGad
Vestibular Schwannoma• Usually arise from the superior division of
vestibular n.• Histology: Antoni A, Antoni B, and Verocay Bodies.• Comprising 8-10% of intracranial tumors.• Annual incidence ~1.5 cases/100,000.• Typically become symptomatic after age 30.– Most common symptoms: hearing loss, tinnitus, and
dysequilibrium.• >95% are unilateral.

Treatment options
• Microsurgery– Middle Fossa approach– Translabyrinthine approach– Retrosigmoid approach
• RadiosurgeryMayfield clinic
Middle Fossa Approach• Usually selected for smaller (<25mm)
and laterally place tumors.
• Potential damage to temporal lobe w/ risk of seizures.
Gonzalez LF et al.
• Retrospective review; 46 patients, middle fossa approach.• Mean follow-up time: 1.8 yr.• Mean tumor size 8.3mm.• Facial n.
– Excellent/good (House-Brackmann Grade I-II) functional preservation: 89.1%.– Not correlated w/ tumor size.
• Cochlear n.– Functional hearing (AAO-HNS Class A-B) preservation: 63.2%– Hearing preservation related to tumor size.
Translabyrinthine Approach
• Allows resection of tumors of different sizes.
• Disadvantage:– Sacrifices hearing– Longer procedure
Gonzalez LF et al.
• Retrospective review, 1244 patients, translabyrinthine approach.• All patients at least 12mo of f/u.• Gross total resection 84%, near-total 13.7%, subtotal 2.2%.• Facial n.
– Excellent/good (House-Brackmann Grade I-II) functional preservation: 70.3%– Tumor size significantly correlates w/ post-op facial n. function.
Retrosigmoid Approach• Most commonly used approach.• Allows resection of tumors of different
sizes and wide view of cisternal component of tumor.
• Disadvantage:– Cerebellar retraction (not a problem for
smaller tumors, <40mm)– Less access to facial/cochlear n. in distal
IAC– Headaches
Gonzalez LF et al.
• Retrospective review; 200 consecutive patients, retrosigmoid approach.• Mean follow-up time: 24 mo.• Gross total resection: 98%, Subtotal resection: 2%.
• Tumor recurrence: 0.5%.
• Facial n.– Excellent/good (House-Brackmann Grade I-II) functional preservation: 62%.– Tumor size significantly correlates w/ post-op facial n. function (p<0.05).
• Cochlear n.– Functional hearing (New Hannover Classification Grade I-III) preservation: 51%.– Hearing preservation related to tumor size and extension, and pre-op hearing level
(p<0.05).
Radiosurgery• Alone or in conjunction with surgery.• Usually reserved for small to medium sized tumors, or
patients who are poor surgical candidates.
• Retrospective review, 190 patients treated with GKRS.• Primary treatment 70.5% and adjunctive 29.5%.• Median margin dose 13Gy, tumor volume 3.6cm3, f/u 109mo.• Overall tumor control rate 89.5%.
– Estimated 3-, 5-, 10- and 15-year tumor control rates: 95%, 93%, 86%, and 70%, respectively.
• Hearing preservation rate 75%.– Estimated 3-, 5-, and 10-year tumor control rates:, 96%, 92%, and 70%
respectively.• Facial n. function (House-Brackmann Grade I-II) preservation 98.6%.• Tumor control was significantly affected by tumor volume.
• At 6mo f/u, pt has been doing well.• Stable tinnitus and hearing loss.• Exam unchanged, incision c/d/i.• No specific complaints.• F/u visit in 6mo w/ MRI and audiogram.
Patient MM (cont’d)
Conclusions• Microsurgery appears to offer better tumor control rates,
whereas radiosurgery seems to have higher hearing preservation.
• Treatment selection should be tailored to each individual patient and tumor characteristics.
• Surgeon/institution experience should also be taken into consideration.
