Vestibular schwannomas (VS), which comprise 85% of cerebellopontine angle tumors, are predominantly benign but present variably with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. Modern imaging has significantly improved VS detection, enabling precise assessments of tumor dimensions and their impact on surrounding structures.

To leverage advanced imaging technologies to perform a comprehensive morphometrics analysis of VS and its impact on surrounding structures.

We analyzed a cohort of 659 patients undergoing radiosurgery for VS using high-definition MRI and bone CT imaging. Techniques included image co-registration, fusion, and advanced statistical methods to examine VS and IAC dimensions. The study identified patterns of IAC dilation and predictive indicators for morphological changes through logistic regression.
