Radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas: preliminary results of the Adelaide experience.
We present the preliminary results of our experience with Linear Accelerator (LINAC) radiosurgery for unilateral vestibular schwannomas. The treatment outcomes of 42 patients with a minimum follow-up of 12 months are reported. An excellent rate of tumour control was achieved with a relatively low complication rate. The current results compare favourably with other reported studies in the literature.
