Malignant transformation of vestibular schwannoma 29 years after Gamma Knife radiosurgery: illustrative case

This case underscores the critical importance of long-term monitoring after SRS, as malignant transformation can occur decades later. Additionally, it highlights the potential necessity for early intervention during malignant transformation to improve patient outcomes, despite the challenges in identifying effective treatments for MTVS. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24526.
