Abstract: | Summary Our report describes the occurrence of intratumoral hemorrhage in a vestibular schwannoma, which was treated with microsurgical
resection thirteen years and gamma knife surgery (GKS) more than two years prior to the event. Although rare, it is apparent
that bleeding into a vestibular schwannoma remains a possibility, even after the tumor has responded favorably to GKS. Long-term
followup of patients with vestibular schwannoma who have been treated with GKS is advisable to assess treatment response and
to detect adverse events (e.g. hemorrhage) suspected on clinical grounds. |
