Summary
Surgical removal of vestibular schwannoma causes acute vestibular symptoms, including
postoperative vertigo and oscilopsia due to nystagmus. In general, the dominant symptom
postoperatively is vertigo. Preoperative chemical vestibular ablation can reduce vestibular
symptoms postoperatively.
