Vestibular schwannomas constitute approximately 6% of intracranial tumors. Apart from the association with neurofibromatosis-2 (NF-2), where a defect in chromosome 22 has been identified, the pathogenesis of sporadic vestibular schwannomas is largely unknown. Very few studies have explored the role...
