摘要Sporadic vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma) is a benign tumor arising from cochleovestibular nerve. Nowadays, various specialties and medical centers are treating this dis-ease, and the multidisciplinary collaboration is the trend. In an effort to promote a uniform stan-dard for reporting clinical results, even for treatment indications, the mainly controversies were posed and discussed during the 7th International Conference on acoustic neuroma, and the agreement was summarized by the Committee of this conference. The main symptoms grading and tumor stage should note its name of classification for making them comparable. The goal of the modern managements for vestibular schwannoma is to improve the quality of life with lower mortality, lower morbidity and better neurological function preservation. The experience of surgical team and their preference might be a major factor for the outcome. Because of lack-ing of long-term follow-up large data after radiotherapy, and with the development of microsur-gery, radiotherapy is now less recommended except for recurrent cases or elderly patients.
