Objectives: On the basis of survey results of the Acoustic Neuroma Association (ANA), we report patient ratings of postoperative headache (POH) symptoms, determine its effect on quality of life (QOL), and review the literature regarding POH after acoustic neuroma (AN) treatment.

Headache Syndromes After Acoustic Neuroma Surgery and Their Implications for Quality of Life
TLDR
Headache is, like postoperative ataxia, dysgeusia and probably facial paresis, an important factor for the overall outcome of patients after acoustic neuroma (AN) surgery, and treatment options based on the clinical picture are presented.
Occipital Neuralgia following Acoustic Neuroma Resection
TLDR
A retrospective review of 872 AN patients who underwent resection at an institution between 1988 and 2017 identified 15 patients that met International Classification of Headache Disorders criteria for ON and demonstrated success with conservative management in some, but overall a minority of patients.
Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion for the Treatment of Post‐Acoustic Neuroma Resection Headache: A Case Report
TLDR
A 47‐year‐old male with a post‐acoustic neuroma resection intractable headache responding to intravenous lidocaine infusion was switched to mexiletine, with good response.
Impact of Facial Dysfunction on Quality of Life after Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery
TLDR
An overestimation of the effect of facial paralysis after vestibular schwannoma resection may exist on the surgeon's part, and detailed information about the possibility of hearing loss, Vestibular problems, and pain must be given to all patients.
Quality of Life in Sporadic Vestibular Schwannoma: A Review
Quality of life (QoL) measures are increasingly used as outcome measures in the assessment of different treatment options in clinical practice and as endpoints in clinical trials. Methods and…
Quality of life after vestibular schwannoma surgery: does hearing preservation make a difference?
TLDR
Surgery for vestibular schwannoma reduces patients' quality of life, and the preservation of hearing, achieved by using a middle fossa surgical approach, does not significantly alter this result.
[Quality of life in patients with vestibular schwannoma].
TLDR
The Penn Acoustic Neuroma Quality Of Life (PANQOL) tool, a disease-specific instrument, was developed and validated and it is expected that the application of this instrument will be able to better assess relevant aspects of the HR-QOL of VS patients in the future.
Impact of Treatment on Vestibular Schwannoma–Associated Symptoms: A Prospective Study Comparing Treatment Modalities
TLDR
It is suggested that tinnitus, dizziness or imbalance, and headaches are unlikely to be significantly modified by treatment modality and generally should not be used to direct treatment choice.
[Quality of life following vestibular schwannoma surgery].
Risk factors and analysis of long-term headache in sporadic vestibular schwannoma: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
TLDR
Multivariable regression demonstrated that younger age, greater anxiety and depression, and a preexisting diagnosis of headache were the primary predictors of severe long-term headache disability, while tumor size and treatment modality had little influence.

Patient Perception of Comorbid Conditions After Acoustic Neuroma Management: Survey Results From the Acoustic Neuroma Association
Objectives/Hypothesis: Based on survey results of the Acoustic Neuroma Association, the patient ratings of the most difficult aspects of acoustic neuroma management were reported and a review of the…
Pain after acoustic neuroma surgery.
Determinants and impact of headache after acoustic neuroma surgery.
TLDR
Clinical observations suggest that most patients are treated successfully with various combinations of reassurance, tricyclic antidepressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, trigger-point injections, adjunctive stress management techniques (relaxation), and physical therapy, and the impact of recurrent headache on work and recreational function is notable.
Acoustic neuroma surgery: outcome analysis of patient-perceived disability.
TLDR
Although virtually all acoustic neuroma patients have some degree of persistent symptoms over the long-term, the data indicates that most of these are attributable to the tumor itself as opposed to the after effects of its surgical removal.
Cranioplasty in Acoustic Neuroma Surgery
TLDR
The incidence of postoperative headaches after retrosigmoid resections of acoustic neuromas is measured and the impact of cranioplasty on the prevention and management of these headaches is evaluated.
Prevention of headache after retrosigmoid removal of acoustic tumors.
TLDR
Free circulation of bone dust into the posterior fossa during intradural drilling of the internal auditory canal may be the most important factor in the development of headache after retrosigmoid removal of acoustic neuromas.
Headache after acoustic neuroma excision.
TLDR
Information available indicates that the incidence of postoperative headache associated with the translabyrinthine approach is similar to that of the retrosigmoid approach, and filling the craniectomy defect will decrease further the incidenceof headache postoperatively.

TLDR
The origin of postoperative headaches after retrosigmoid vestibular schwannoma resections is not yet fully understood and different factors may play a role in preventing or reducing headache.
Some aspects of life quality after surgery for acoustic neuroma.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that deafness, dysequilibrium, and reduced facial nerve function caused the most severe problems and improved information to patients before surgery may reduce the frequency of negative experiences.
Postoperative pain following excision of acoustic neuroma by the suboccipital approach: observations on possible cause and potential amelioration.
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that pain may be caused, in part, by adherence of healing nuchal soft tissue to underlying dura following suboccipital craniectomy.
