OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: This review aims to evaluate the literature pertaining to subjective balance dysfunction following vestibular schwannoma surgery; the effect of postoperative imbalance on disability, handicap and quality of life; and to determine factors that influence vestibular compensation.
METHODS: Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane databases, and relevant contemporary texts were searched for papers relating to subjective balance dysfunction following vestibular schwannoma surgery. The quality of this clinical evidence was evaluated.
RESULTS: The search yielded 26 studies assessing subjective balance dysfunction following vestibular schwannoma surgery. Analysis revealed that the majority of patients complain of balance dysfunction following surgery; however, a small number report disability or handicap. A few studies have demonstrated a decreased quality of life due to balance dysfunction. Factors have been identified that may contribute to a poor recovery.
CONCLUSIONS: Further study is needed of the factors that influence vestibular compensation following vestibular schwannoma surgery. This will help to counsel patients prior to surgery and develop strategies for rehabilitation.
