Abstract
Spontaneous Size Regression of a Vestibular Schwannoma
Vestibular schwannomas are the most commonly occurring skull base tumors. Increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging has allowed early recognition of these tumors and better characterization of their natural course. Recently, several series have presented data with regard to the slow growth of these tumors and challenged the need for tumor resection or radiation in cases involving small to medium-sized tumors. This is a case report of spontaneous regression of a medium-sized vestibular schwannoma occurring after initial slow tumor growth.
