Background: Vestibular schwannomas are among the most common intracranial tumours. Their growth is difficult to predict.Objectives: To study the evolution of small and medium-sized vestibular schwannomas (VSs) and identify factors predictive of growth.Material and methods: This was a retrospective longitudinal study at a tertiary referral centre from January 2011 to January 2018. The inclusion criteria were radiological diagnosis of sporadic unilateral VS of stage I or II. Radiological and clinical data were analysed descriptively and by multivariate logistic regression to identify factors predictive of growth.Results: A total of 1105 cases were discussed in multidisciplinary meetings and 336 patients were included with a mean age of 57.8 years and a mean follow-up time of 24 months. Around two thirds of these patients (62.8%) had non-progressive tumours. Factors identified as predictive of VS growth were the size at diagnosis (OR = 2.622, 95% CI, 1.50-4.66; p = .001) and internal auditory canal filling (OR = 7.672; 95% CI, 4.52-13.43; p < .001).Conclusions and significance: Monitoring is the primary treatment modality for small or medium-sized VSs. As reported here for the first time, internal auditory canal filling is significantly associated with VS growth.

D009464 Neuroma, Acoustic A benign SCHWANNOMA of the eighth cranial nerve (VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE), mostly arising from the vestibular branch (VESTIBULAR NERVE) during the fifth or sixth decade of life. Clinical manifestations include HEARING LOSS; HEADACHE; VERTIGO; TINNITUS; and FACIAL PAIN. Bilateral acoustic neuromas are associated with NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 2.
