Vestibular Evaluation After Vestibular Schwannoma Treatment (EVTSVCGEC)

September 12, 2018 updated by: EssaiClinique_EVTSVCGEC, University Hospital, Grenoble

Vestibular Evaluation Before and After Treatment of Vestibular Schwannoma. Comparison of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery and Microsurgical Resection

Vestibular schwannoma is a benign tumor located on the vestibular nerve. Patient could present dizziness symptoms cause to the tumor, and at least after the treatment by gamaknife radiosurgery or microsurgery resection.

Only few studies keep the interest about dizziness symptoms and treatment modality in vestibular schwannoma.

In the study dizziness symptoms were compared before and after the treatment of vestibular schwannoma by radiosurgery gammaknife or microsurgery resection. 2 scales were used : dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) and dizziness functionnal scale (AAO).

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
radiosurgery gammaknife group
Patient treated by radiosurgery gammaknife for a one side vestibular schwannoma
This procedure use intense gamma ray, which are concentrated to the precise volume of the tumor that used to stop the progression of the tumor
microsurgery resection group
Patient treated by microsurgery resection for a one side vestibular schwannoma
Classical surgical approach with oto-neurosurgery procedures

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Vestibular evaluation DHI
Time Frame: From 4 years to 6 months

The investigator use a standarised scale :

- Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). This scale combines 25 questions with three answers for each proposition about dizzyness in daily life situation : everytime (quote 4), sometimes (quote 2), never (quote 0). The scores are summing to obtain a value on 100.

The scale is completed before and after the treatement. The investigator send the scale to the patient by mail way.

From 4 years to 6 months
Vestibular evaluation AAO
Time Frame: From 4 years to 6 months

The investigator use a standarised scale :

- Dizziness Functionnal Scale (AAO), this is a scale quote from 1 (no symptoms of dizzyness) to 6 (major disability). The patient have to choise only one item that correspond to the condition.

The scale is completed before and after the treatement. The investigator send the scale to the patient by mail way.

From 4 years to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Facial fonction
Time Frame: From 4 years to 6 months

House and Brackmann scale :

This scale is a standarised assessment of facial fonction from grade I : normal ; to grade VI : total paralysis.

Each scale is completed after the treatement.

From 4 years to 6 months
Hearing function
Time Frame: From 4 years to 6 months

This information is based on a question to the patient about the usefulness of hearing prothesis.

So there are 2 groups : useful hearing (normal hearing or used hearing prothesis) or useless hearing (unsused hearing prothesis)

The information is completed before and after the treatement.

From 4 years to 6 months
Tumor control
Time Frame: From 4 years to 6 months

Tumor control is based on MRI size description (in mm):

So there are 2 groups : controled or evolution of the tumor.

  • for microsurgery resection group the investigator keeps interest about the remaining size
  • for radiosurgery gammaknife group the investigator keeps interest about the stability or the reduction of the tumor

The result is completed after the treatement.

From 4 years to 6 months
