Abstract
Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are rare in children and, when present, are usually part of neurofibromatosis 2 and bilateral. Sporadic unilateral VSs in the pediatric age group itself are rare in medical literature and giant sporadic unilateral pediatric VSs (>4 cm) are extremely rare. Herein, we describe the largest reported case of giant sporadic left-sided VS in a 10-year-old boy.
