Article Type: Original Article | First Published: June 20, 2019
Acoustic neuromas, also known as vestibular schwannomas are benign and slow-growing tumors arising from neural crest-derived Schwann cells. Treatment of acoustic neuromas targets to achieve local control while preserving hearing without comprimising cranial nerve functionality. In this context, radiosurgery in the form of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) offer viable therapeutic options for effective management. Multimodality imaging has gained utm...
