Acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma)
Acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma) is a benign, slow-growing tumor arising from Schwann cells of the vestibular division of the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). It typically originates within the internal auditory canal and may extend into the cerebellopontine angle. Most cases are sporadic and unilateral, while bilateral tumors are strongly associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Typical clinical features include progressive unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, high-pitched tinnitus, and episodic vertigo; larger tumors may compress the facial nerve, trigeminal nerve, or brainstem, resulting in facial weakness, facial sensory disturbance, and gait ataxia. Diagnosis relies on gadolinium-enhanced MRI. Management options—microsurgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, or conservative observation—are individualized based on tumor size, growth rate, and patient status, with emphasis on preserving facial nerve and hearing functions. Acoustic neuroma represents a key disease entity in neurotology and skull base surgery, with ongoing translational research refining molecular pathogenesis, imaging biomarkers, and minimally invasive therapeutic strategies.

Perfusion-weighted imaging in vestibular schwannoma: the influence that cystic status and tumor size have on perfusion profiles
This dataset is a perfusion imaging study of vestibular schwannomas (VS), aiming to explore perfusion characteristics and their influencing factors. It includes perfusion-weighted imaging parameters from 20 patients with sporadic vestibular schwannomas, specifically parameters related to the extravascular extracellular space (EES): the volume transfer constant between a vessel and the EES (Ktrans), the EES volume per unit of tissue volume (Ve), the rate transfer constant between EES and blood plasma (Kep), and the relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV). The data were derived from medical imaging calculations and correlated with tumor size (small vs. large) and structure (solid, cystic, or heterogeneous). Findings indicate that Ktrans, Ve, and Kep were measurable in all tumors, while rCBV was only measurable in large tumors; Ktrans showed a positive correlation with rCBV, Ve had a negative correlation with Kep, and in solid VSs, Ktrans and Ve were positively correlated. The dataset is primarily used in neuro-oncology, medical image analysis, and clinical research to assess perfusion profiles of vestibular schwannomas, providing imaging-based insights into tumor biology and treatment strategies.

The Proteome of Perilymph in Patients with Vestibular Schwannoma: A Possibility to Identify Biomarkers for Tumor-Associated Hearing Loss
This dataset is a proteomic study of perilymph from patients with vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). It includes perilymph samples collected intraoperatively via the round window from 15 patients undergoing translabyrinthine surgery. The samples were analyzed using an online tandem LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer, with protein identification and quantification performed using MaxQuant software. A total of 314 proteins were identified, including 60 proteins present in all patients and 130 proteins detected only in individual patients. The dataset focuses on functional analysis of proteins (using the PANTHER Overrepresentation tool) and associations between protein content and clinical parameters, particularly tumor-associated hearing loss and tumor diameter. Random Forest and Boruta analyses identified alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (P02765) as an independent variable for tumor-associated hearing loss. The dataset is primarily used to investigate the molecular mechanisms of inner ear disorders, discover potential biomarkers for hearing loss, and study the pathophysiology of vestibular schwannoma.

Supplementary Material for: Cochlear Fibrosis after Vestibular Schwannoma Resection via the Middle Cranial Fossa Approach

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas: Evaluation of planning using the sphericity degree of the target volume
This dataset comprises research data from a study on Gamma Knife radiosurgery planning for vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas), focusing on the relationship between the sphericity degree of the target volume and dose distribution.

The data is derived from clinical treatment planning systems, with spherical target volumes in a phantom used as reference plans for comparison. The primary research direction is the optimization of dose distribution in radiosurgery planning, investigating sphericity as a novel parameter for evaluating Gamma Knife plan quality, thereby providing theoretical support for precise treatment of vestibular schwannomas.
