Estas dores podem ser acompanhadas por náuseas e vômitos, o que pode inicialmente ser confundido com enxaquecas ou outras condições menos graves.
Outro indicador potencial de tumores cerebrais é a presença de alterações na visão. Problemas como visão dupla, v ..read more

PMID: 36964093
DOI: 10.1016/j.otc.2023.02.014
Abstract
The current management of vestibular schwannomas (VS) includes observation, microsurgery (MS), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or radiotherapy, and treatment failures may occur with any primary modality. SRS is most often used for microsurgical failures, as it carries a low risk of adverse events. Salvage MS following previous MS is reserved for specific cases and can present certain surgical chall ..read more
