Abstract

Imaging plays a central role in the modern management of vestibular schwannomas (VS), from the initial diagnosis to treatment planning and subsequent monitoring of treatment response. It is of particular importance in NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2) and similar genetic tumor predisposition syndromes, where patients require serial monitoring for many years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the technique of choice and can reliably detect very small tumors and incremental growth. Modern imaging methods are reviewed, with a focus on MRI. The authors examine the initial evaluation of VS, differential diagnosis, expected posttreatment appearances, imaging after implantation, surveillance imaging, and assessment of complications. They also discuss imaging considerations arising in the context of NF2.

前庭神经鞘瘤的影像学与鉴别诊断。

影像学在前庭神经鞘瘤（VS）的现代治疗中起着核心作用，从最初的诊断到治疗计划和随后的治疗反应监测。这在NF2相关的神经鞘瘤病（NF2）和类似的遗传肿瘤易感性综合征中尤为重要，这些患者需要多年的连续监测。磁共振成像（MRI）是首选技术，可以可靠地检测非常小的肿瘤和增量生长。回顾了现代成像方法，重点是MRI。作者检查了VS的初步评估、鉴别诊断、治疗后的预期表现、植入后的成像、监测成像和并发症的评估。他们还讨论了NF2背景下的影像学考虑。

期刊介绍： The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
