- W2006653721 abstract "OBJECTIVE: Despite good knowledge of the key symptoms of vestibular schwannomas and their significance for surgical results, the evolution of symptoms and signs and their relation to tumor extension still need thorough investigation. METHODS: From 1978 to 1993, operations were performed by the same surgeon (M.S.) on 1000 vestibular schwannomas at the Neurosurgical Department of Nordstadt Hospital. The vestibular schwannomas were diagnosed in 962 patients, including 522 female patients (54%) and 440 male patients (46%); the mean age was significantly higher in female patients (47.6 yr) than in men(45.2 yr). We focused our analysis on the incidence of subjective disturbances versus objective morbidity, on the sequence of symptom onset, and on symptom duration and symptomatology versus tumor size and extension. RESULTS: The most frequent clinical symptoms were disturbances of the acoustic(95%), vestibular (61%), trigeminal (9%), and facial (6%) nerves. Symptom duration was 3.7 years for hearing loss, 1.9 years for facial paresis, and 1.3 years for trigeminal disturbances. Symptom incidence and duration did not strictly correlate with tumor size. Key symptoms of various tumor extension classes precipitated the diagnosis, such as trigeminal disturbances in large tumors with brain stem compression or tinnitus in small neuromas. In cases of trigeminal or facial nerve symptoms, the overall duration of symptomatology was much shorter. According to the subjective perception of the patients, between only one- and two-thirds of nerve disturbances were noticed. Patients with preoperative deafness had become deaf either chronically (23%) or suddenly (3%); even in cases of moderate hearing deficit that lasts a long time, deafness can occur suddenly. The rate of tinnitus was higher in hearing than in deaf patients; however, deafness does not mean relief from tinnitus, because this symptom persists in 46% of preoperatively deaf patients. Vestibular disturbances most often occur as some unsteadiness while walking or as vertigo, and the symptoms frequently are fluctuating, not constant. CONCLUSION: Differences in tumor biology can be underestimated and are not visible on radiological scans. For example, intrameatal tumors, despite their small size, present with a duration of symptoms that is representative of the larger tumors and are most frequently associated with vestibular symptoms and with tinnitus. Large tumors with brain stem compression present with relatively shorter symptom durations and at a younger age; both factors are suggestive of especially fast tumor growth. The clinical findings presented in this study promote new consideration of the dynamics of tumor growth and of the affected neural tissues." @default.
