A retrospective study demonstrating the growth patterns and the pseudoprogression temporal classification after stereotactic radiosurgery for sporadic vestibular schwannomas

Abstract Background and objectives Vestibular schwannomas are known to demonstrate tumor expansion, commonly referred to as pseudoprogression, after SRS. It is critical to differentiate between true tumor progression and pseudoprogression as this may entail performing an unnecessary intervention, su...
