To assess the correlation between linear and volumetric changes in vestibular schwannomas (VS).
Retrospective imaging review was performed on patients diagnosed with sporadic VS from 2000 to 2019 who demonstrated linear growth on observation with serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Two large tertiary care centers.
Changes in diameter on serial MRI scans, measured by 1995 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery guidelines, were compared to changes in volume, calculated by segmentation.
Ninety-two patients had VS confined to the internal auditory canal (IAC) with 236 MRIs analyzed, and 108 patients had VS involving the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) with 193 MRIs analyzed. The Spearman rank correlation coefficients between changes in diameter and volume for IAC and CPA tumors were 0.43 (p < .001) and 0.65 (p < .001), respectively. Linear diameter increases of 1 to <2 mm corresponded to a median volume change of 32% (interquartile range [IQR]: 6%-86%) for IAC tumors, compared to 23% (IQR: 13%-40%) for CPA tumors. Linear diameter increases of 2 to <3 mm (ie, the minimum linear diameter change classically considered "true growth") corresponded to a median volume change of 42% (IQR: 23%-100%) and 47% (IQR: 26%-69%) for IAC and CPA tumors, respectively.
Changes in linear diameter significantly correlated with changes in volume for IAC and CPA tumors, although diameter changes that did not meet the definition of linear growth (<2 mm) had corresponding median volume changes in excess of 20% for both IAC and CPA tumors.
评估前庭神经鞘瘤(VS)的线性和体积变化之间的相关性。
对 2000 年至 2019 年间经诊断患有散发性 VS 且在连续磁共振成像(MRI)检查中显示线性生长的患者进行回顾性影像学检查。
两个大型三级保健中心。
根据 1995 年美国耳鼻喉科学-头颈外科学会指南,比较了连续 MRI 扫描上的直径变化,并通过分割计算了体积变化。
92 例 VS 局限于内听道(IAC),分析了 236 次 MRI,108 例 VS 累及桥小脑角(CPA),分析了 193 次 MRI。IAC 和 CPA 肿瘤的直径变化与体积变化之间的 Spearman 秩相关系数分别为 0.43(p<0.001)和 0.65(p<0.001)。IAC 肿瘤的线性直径增加 1 至<2 mm 对应体积变化的中位数为 32%(四分位距 [IQR]:6%-86%),而 CPA 肿瘤的体积变化中位数为 23%(IQR:13%-40%)。IAC 肿瘤的线性直径增加 2 至<3 mm(即经典上认为“真正生长”的最小线性直径变化)对应体积变化的中位数为 42%(IQR:23%-100%),而 CPA 肿瘤的体积变化中位数为 47%(IQR:26%-69%)。
IAC 和 CPA 肿瘤的线性直径变化与体积变化显著相关,尽管不符合线性生长定义的直径变化(<2 mm),但对于 IAC 和 CPA 肿瘤,体积变化的中位数均超过 20%。
