    Background: Intralabyrinthine schwannoma are rare benign tumors exclusively managed to date with observation or surgical removal. We analyze results of radiosurgical treatment of these lesions. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical data of 454 patients with vestibular schwannomas treated by Gamma Knife in our center was performed. We identify 12 patients treated for a schwannoma located partially or totally into the cochleo-vestibular structures. Ten patients with a clinical and radiological follow-up of more than 1 year were selected for further analysis. Results: Patients had hearing worsening at different stages, sometimes associated with tinnitus, imbalance or vertigo. The median duration of symptoms before treatment was 3.3 years. Anatomical location of the ILS was intravestibular, intracochlear, intravestibulocochlear, transmacular or transmodiolar (2 patien.. Read More»
