Interventions
Microsurgical resection of VSs can be accomplished by three approaches including middle cranial fossa, retrosigmoid, and translabyrinthine. The surgical approach utilized is typically selected on the basis of tumor location and size, and patient age and hearing status.
Radiation therapy will be delivered using single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery with Gamma knife technology, or linear accelerator following institutional standard of care.
A PREHAB visit will be done once weekly for 3 weeks to determine exercise regimen prior to surgery or radiotherapy. Therapy includes balance exercises (twice daily), gaze stabilization exercises (12-20 minutes daily), and habituation exercises (as applicable).
