Abstract

Patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS) typically present with hearing loss and tinnitus as well as variable cranial nerve dysfunctions. Surgical resection, stereotactic radiotherapy and/or conservative management employing serial magnetic resonance or computed tomography imaging serve as the main treatment options. Quality of life (QoL) may be impacted by the extent of tumour burden and exacerbated or relieved by treatment. Subjective assessment and quality of life inventories provide valuable information in client centered approaches with important implications for treatment. The intention of QoL measurements affecting VS patients within a clinical setting is to facilitate discussions regarding treatment options and objectively evaluate patient- centered clinical outcomes in a naturalistic setting.
