Fractionated SRT resulted in an excellent tumor control rate, even for relatively large tumors, and produced a high rate of hearing preservation that was comparable to the best results of single-fraction radiosurgery. The progression of communicating hydrocephalus should be monitored closely, particularly in patients harboring a large VS.
