Quality of life in patients with vestibular Schwannoma - A literature review
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.
