Optimized preoperative determination of nerve of origin in patients with vestibular schwannoma

Abstract In vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients hearing outcome and surgery related risks can vary and depend on the nerve of origin. Preoperative origin differentiation between inferior or superior vestibular nerve may influence the decision on treatment, and the selection of optimal treatment and...
