Vestibular Schwannomas covers multiple facets of vestibular schwannomas, including advancements in surgical techniques, radiological innovations, long-term patient outcomes, and implications for hearing preservation. It serves as a comprehensive guide for clinicians and researchers aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies in managing these complex tumors which are benign, slow-growing tumors that originate from the Schwann cells that line the vestibular nerve. They are the most prevalent neoplasms found in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), the critical junction between the cerebellum and the brainstem.Their incidence, clinical presentation, and impact on surrounding neurological structures make them a focal point of research and medical intervention. Understanding their etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options requires an interdisciplinary approach bridging neurology, otology, and radiology.
