Abstract

With the increasing prevalence and decreasing cost of MRI scans, incidental discovery of vestibular schwannoma (VS) has become more common. Scarce literature exists regarding management of the tumors in those patients with incidentally discovered VSs, and clear guidelines for management do not exist. In this review, the authors examine the available literature for insights into management of incidentally diagnosed VS and provide an algorithm for their management.
