In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The investigators aim to study the impact of stereotactic radiosurgery, for the treatment of vestibular Schwannoma, on the cochlear, vestibular, gustatory, and facial nerve functions and compare it with a conservatively treated group. The predictive value of radiological tumor characteristics on hearing preservation and vestibular function will be also evaluated. Additionally, the investigators will invite patients with vestibular Schwannoma to fill out questionnaires to assess their quality of life.
