    Abstract: We aimed to explore the application and prospects of the subperineural resection technique for tumor separation and removal under the perineurium during surgery for vestibular schwannomas (VSs). Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 124 patients with VSs who underwent surgery via a retrosigmoid approach from July 2015 to October 2020 in the Department of Neurosurgery, Tangdu Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University. The data will be discussed with regard to the following aspects: clinical features, surgical strategies, tumor resection extent, facial–acoustic function preservation, and postoperative complications. Results Gross total resection (GTR) of the tumor was achieved in 104 patients, with a GTR rate of 83.9%, and subtotal resection (STR) of the tumor was achieved in 20 patients. There was no significant difference in facial and acoustic nerve functional preservation between GTR and STR, as well as in tumor resection between solid and cystic tumors. The retention rate reached 97.6% in terms of complete anatomical facial nerve preservation. Facial nerve function was assessed using the House–Brackmann (HB) grading score. Consequently, HB grades of I–II, III–IV, and V–VI were determined for 96 (77.4%), 25 (20.2%), and 3 (2.4%) cases, respectively, 1 week postoperatively and accounted for 110 cases (88.7%), 13 cases (10.5%), and 1 case (0.8%), respectively, at 6 months. Fifteen of 35 (42.9%) patients with serviceable hearing before the operation still had serviceable hearing at 6 months postoperatively. There were 5 cases of cerebellar or brainstem bleeding after the operation, and one patient died. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age (≥60 years, p = 0.011), large tumor ( & gt;3 cm, p = 0.004), and cystic tumor ( p = 0.046) were independent risk factors associated with the extent of adhesion between the tumor and the brainstem and facial–acoustic nerve. Conclusion We successfully applied the subperineural resection technique to a large series of patients with VSs and achieved satisfactory results. Accurate identification of the perineurium and subperineural resection of the tumor can effectively reduce the disturbance of the facial–acoustic nerve during the operation and provide an intuitive basis for judging the tumor boundary. The subperineural resection technique may be conducive to improving the rate of total tumor resection and facial–acoustic nerve functional preservation in the surgical treatment of VSs.

    Abstract: The clinical features and therapeutic measures of vestibular schwannoma (VS) radiation-related aneurysm (RRA) have not been well described. We reported the first VS RRA case admitted for acute anterior inferior cerebella artery (AICA) ischemic symptoms. Literature was reviewed to present the research fruits about VS RRAs, and some therapeutic advices were given. Materials and methods A 54-year-old woman who had undergone GKS 10 years previously for a right VS was admitted to our hospital in 2018 because of sudden onset of severe vertigo and vomiting, accompanied with unsteady gait. During tumor resection, a dissecting aneurysm arose from the main trunk of AICA was encountered accidently within the tumor. The aneurysm was successfully treated with direct clip ligation, sparing the parent vessel. Data about this case were combined with those of other 11 radiation-related AICA aneurysm cases retrieved from the current literature. The following parameters were evaluated: Age, Sex, Diagnostic method, Location of aneurysm, Age of radiotherapy (Years)/Latency, Rupture, x-ray dosage, Type of radiotherapy, History of surgical resection of VS, Aneurysm Type, Morphology, Number, Treatment, Operative complications, Sequela, Outcome. VS RRAs mainly occurred in women (75%) with a median age of 62.5 years and were mainly located on AICA. Ruptured aneurysms accounted for 75.0% of the total cases. This paper reported the first VS case admitted with acute AICA ischemic symptoms. Cases with sacciform-like, irregular and fusiform-shaped aneurysms accounted for 50.0%, 25.0% and 25.0% of the total, respectively. After surgical treatment, 75.0% patients recovered, except for 3 patients who developed new ischemic consequence. Conclusion Patients should be informed of the risk of RRAs after receiving radiotherapy for VS. In these patients, RRAs should be suspected when subarachnoid hemorrhage or AICA ischemic symptoms occurred. Active intervention should be conducted considering the high instability and bleeding rate of VS RRAs.
