Abstract

An expectant, nontreatment strategy for acoustic neuromas implies an understanding of the natural biologic behavior of these tumors. This study describes the long-term follow-up of a group of unoperated acoustic neuroma patients. Patterns of tumor growth are discussed in light of clinical outcome. Patient selection and a follow-up protocol are recommended for those individuals in whom a nontreatment strategy is contemplated.
