Overview
The incidence vestibular schwannoma is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals. Patients of all age groups may develop vestibular schwannoma. The incidence is more common between the 3rd and 5th decades of life. The median age at diagnosis is 5th decade. The incidence seems to be higher in Asian population and lower in Hispanics and African-Americans. Vestibular schwannoma affects men and women equally with a slight predilection towards female population.
