In small intracanalicular acoustic neuromas with facial nerve dysfunction, is there benefit for hypofractionation (5 Gy by 5 fractions) as opposed to single fraction SRS?
Guidelines support standard fractionation when tumors are large or have brainstem compression but what would indications be for moderate hypofractionation?

Unusual for a “small” acoustic to cause a cranial nerve deficit. I’d use conventional 50.4 Gy at 1.8 Gy per fraction.
