Predicting Hearing Outcomes in Conservatively Managed Vestibular Schwannoma Patients Utilizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Conclusions: Cerebrospinal fluid fundal cap size predicts the natural history of hearing in vestibular schwannoma patients. The presence of a smaller fundal cap is correlated with a greater risk of progression of hearing loss and should be a variable considered in the management of small vestibular schwannomas.
