SRS management of patients with Koos grade I vestibular schwannomas was associated with superior tumor control and reduced odds for cranial nerve dysfunction, while not compromising hearing preservation compared with observation. Othman Bin-Alamer Hussam Abou-Al-Shaar journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/a…

For patients with Koos grade II vestibular schwannomas, SRS offers superior tumor control rate and lower risk of cranial nerve dysfunction without sacrificing hearing preservation, compared with observation. Othman Bin-Alamer Hussam Abou-Al-Shaar journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/a…

Should we watch and wait or intervene with SRS for Koos grades I and II? Our twin papers in Neurosurgery Publications examined this question in both entities separately. Jason Sheehan, Douglas Kondziolka, Hussam Abou-Al-Shaar, Intl Radiosurgery Research Foundation
