Abstract

BACKGROUND: Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign tumors that can lead to hearing loss, balance issues, and tinnitus. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKS) is a common treatment for VS, aimed at halting tumor growth and preserving neurological function. Accurate monitoring of VS volume before and after GKS is essential for assessing treatment efficacy.
