Residual Vestibular Schwannomas: Proposed Age-Tumor-Residual (ATR) Staging System to Predict Future Growth
Approximately 80% of residual VS are stable or shrink in size. Initial observation is advocated after incomplete resection and long-term follow up is needed. Patient age less than 55 years, larger preoperative tumor size, and larger postoperative residual tumor size appear predictive of residual tumor growth.Level of Evidence: 4.
