Does Hospital Volume Affect Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery?
Objective: To determine the effect of hospital surgical case volume on the outcomes of vestibular schwannoma surgery. Study Design: Retrospective case review. Setting: University HealthSystem Consortium member hospitals (includes nearly every US academic medical center). Patients: Three thousand six hundred ninety-seven patients who underwent vestibular schwannoma resection over a 3-year timespan (2012–2015) grouped by race, age, comorbidities, payer, and sex. Intervention: Surgical resection of vestibular schwannoma. Main Outcome Measures: Morbidity and mortality following vestibular schwannoma excision...

Surgical salvage of recurrent vestibular schwannoma following prior stereotactic radiosurgery
ConclusionMicrosurgical salvage of VS following primary radiation therapy is challenging. Less‐than‐complete resection is required in a greater percentage of patients to preserve facial nerve integrity and prevent neurological complications. Long‐term follow‐up is needed to determine the risk of delayed progression following incomplete tumor removal. Level of EvidenceLevel 3. Laryngoscope, 2016

VOR Gain by Head Impulse Video-Oculography Differentiates Acute Vestibular Neuritis from Stroke
Conclusion: Video HIT VOR gains differ between peripheral and central causes of AVS. PICA strokes were readily separated from neuritis using gain measures, but AICA strokes were at risk of being misclassified based on VOR gain alone.
