Malysheva O. Early diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma (otoneurological and instrumental)

The frequency of diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma (VS) in Ukraine in the late stages of the disease reaches 85%. This fact justifies the urgent need to improve the early comprehensive diagnosis of VS to predict the course of the disease, the effectiveness and quality of treatment. The study identified differences for each stage of the course of VS by clarifying the typical profile of clinical symptoms and involving statistical methods. It is proved that the results of computer stabilography (CS) are statistically significant for the objectification of vestibular disorders in patients with VS. The aim of the work – improve the early diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma based on the analysis of clinical and anamnestic data and assessment (qualitative and quantitative) of clinical symptoms with justification of examination schemes and its volume depending on the stage of the disease. Аn improved version of schemes of the clinical-instrumental complex of examination for the patient with suspected and diagnosed VS at different levels of medical care has been developed and implemented.
