This new publication is superb... the best book, even by the
standards of this publisher, in a very long time. - The Journal of
Laryngology & Otology The definitive resource on clinical
management of vestibular schwannoma from world renowned experts
Although a histologically benign and relatively uncommon tumor,
otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons have maintained a lasting and
deep-rooted fascination with vestibular schwannoma, also known as
acoustic neuroma. Advancements in microsurgical technique,
radiosurgery, and radiotherapy, coupled with an increased
understanding of the natural history of the disease, have made
modern management of this tumor considerably more complex.
Concurrently, new controversies have added to the original debates
among pioneering surgeons, with the pendulum swinging between
conservatism and definitive cure. Comprehensive Management of
Vestibular Schwannoma, by distinguished Mayo Clinic clinicians and
renowned international contributors, is a comprehensive textbook
covering all the clinical aspects of vestibular schwannoma
management. Eighty-four chapters written by multidisciplinary
experts including otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, radiation
oncologists, neurologists, neuroradiologists, and audiologists,
ensure a balanced view of all treatment modalities for sporadic and
neurofibromatosis type 2-associated vestibular schwannoma. Key
