Vestibular schwannoma is a benign tumour originating from Schwann cells in the vestibular nerve. Each year, up to 250 patients in Norway are diagnosed with the condition. Treatment options are surgery, gamma knife radiosurgery or observation. The best treatment modality remains a topic of debate, and there are few high-quality comparative studies. With the ageing population and increasing access to MRI scans, the number of patients diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma is expected to rise. This clinical review article focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular schwannoma.
