TLDR
Determinants of VS growth are described, allowing clinicians to move toward a more personalized approach to growth-risk profiling, and were found to be extracanalicular VS and small-sized VS more likely to grow than IC VS, but only in the first year after diagnosis.
Evaluating growth trends of residual sporadic vestibular schwannomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
Close postoperative surveillance for the first year, followed by an annual MRI scan for at least 5 years, and subsequently extended interval surveillance remains of utmost importance to monitor disease progression and provide timely surgical and adjuvant interventions.
MRI monitoring of small and medium-sized vestibular schwannomas: predictors of growth
TLDR
Monitoring is the primary treatment modality for small or medium-sized vestibular schwannomas and internal auditory canal filling is significantly associated with VS growth.
Natural History of Growing Sporadic Vestibular Schwannomas During Observation: An International Multi-Institutional Study

TLDR
Growth detected during observation does not necessarily portend future growth, especially for slowly growing tumors, and toleration of some growth during observation is justifiable in appropriately selected cases.
Potential Molecular Biomarkers of Vestibular Schwannoma Growth: Progress and Prospects
TLDR
Advances in the study of biomarkers that associated with VS growth are discussed, providing a reference for exploring the growth course of VS and determining the optimal treatment strategy for each patient.
De Novo Vestibular Schwannoma: A Report of Three Cases
TLDR
This is the first report of three patients with de novo vestibular schwannoma, showing tumor emergence and rapid growth in a short period, suggesting the “wait and scan” policy may not be appropriate for the subset of VS such as de noVO VS.
Predicting potential of rapid tumor growth in small to medium vestibular schwannomas on the basis of sway assessed using posturography.
Intracanalicular Vestibular Schwannomas: Initial Clinical Manifestation, Imaging Classification, and Risk Stratification for Management Proposal.
TLDR
The intrameatal staging as prognostic factor is valid and a stratification of patients into low, moderate, or high risk for potential tumor growth is proposed to guide the initial management of ICVS.

  • 2018
TLDR
This is the first study comparing a cohort of regressing tumors with a control group of patients with growing VS and the finding that the location of tumors around the porous, is more common in regressing VS has implications for patients' counselling.
A Suspected Vestibular Schwannoma with Uncharacteristic Growth Dynamic and Symptom Severity: A Case Report
TLDR
A 69-year-old patient with an atypical, severe symptom constellation and tumor growth dynamic is presented, and the planned treatment of the schwannoma with radiosurgery revealed an unforeseen change of focus.

Predictors of Vestibular Schwannoma Growth and Clinical Implications
TLDR
Assessment of tumor size at diagnosis and for the presence of tinnitus may allow for risk stratification of patients with newly diagnosed vestibular schwannomas and for a more rational application of the conservative management approach.

TLDR
Tumor growth is usually slow and is most likely to occur within the first 3 years of observation, but growth may occur after five years of follow-up.
Expectant management of vestibular schwannoma: a retrospective multivariate analysis of tumor growth and outcome.
TLDR
No growth within 5 years of surveillance does not guarantee a continued indolent growth pattern; surveillance must therefore continue.

Conservative management of 386 cases of unilateral vestibular schwannoma: tumor growth and consequences for treatment.
TLDR
The results of this study support the role of a conservative "wait-and-scan" policy of management for small-sized vestibular schwannomas because most have a slow growth rate.
Vestibular schwannoma of oscillating size: A case report and review of literature
TLDR
The long-term follow-up of an unusual cystic schwannoma with growth patterns prior to and following treatment, adding valuable information to the variable natural history and outcome of these infrequent tumors.
A Protocol for the Conservative Management of Vestibular Schwannomas
TLDR
A protocol for the safe surveillance of vestibular schwannomas is devised, recommending an initial magnetic resonance imaging scan at 6 months, with scans to take place at annual intervals for 2 years, and a further scan 2 years later will identify any patient with indolent tumors.
Conservative Management of Vestibular Schwannoma: Expectations Based on the Length of the Observation Period
TLDR
For patients electing an observation approach to treatment of a vestibular schwannoma, about 31% may eventually undergo further treatment, however, some patients are followed with radiologic evaluations for many years without necessity for further treatment.
Growth of untreated vestibular schwannoma: a prospective study.
TLDR
Based on the actual measurements, VDT was the most correct way to describe VS growth, and none of the investigated baseline predictors were usable as predictors of growth.
Conservative management of acoustic neuroma.
TLDR
Few patients with small tumors will come to surgery in the short term, so long-term follow-up studies of 20 years or more are required to be come more confident about the natural history of these tumors.
