Objectives: To analyze factors associated with the clinical growth index of sporadic unilateral vestibular schwannoma and to evaluate the validity of the index as an indicator of tumor growth. Design: A retrospective case review study. Patients and methods: A series of 118 patients with unilateral vestibular schwannomas. Clinical growth index was calculated by dividing tumor size by the length of clinical history. Clinical growth index, tumor size, symptoms, and symptom duration were tested for a relationship with tumor location, patient sex, and age. All tests were performed for the total group and separately for three subgroups: intrameatal tumors (IT group, n?=?46), intrameatal and extrameatal tumors (IET group, n?=?60), and extrameatal tumors (ET group, n?=?12). Results: Vestibular schwannoma diameter ranged from 3 to 40 mm (mean size, 14.3?±?7.6 mm). The maximum tumor diameter was significantly greater for the IET group (17.9?±?6.5 mm) and the ET group (19.3?±?8.5 mm) than for the IT group (8.5?±?4.3 mm) (p? |
