Abstract

Although Vestibular Schwannomas (SV) are benign tumors, they can cause symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, balance disorders, etc. Such manifestations reduce the quality of life (QOL), in such a way that patients with VS report worse QOL than patients with chronic diseases or head and neck cancer. As VS is not a life-threatening disease if properly treated, most patients will live with their tumor, associated symptoms, and/or sequelae of therapy for long periods.
