case_images: Follow-up MRI in October 2014 showed a local, aggressive recurrence within the lateral limits of the surgical region [Figure 2a]; clinical evaluation demonstrated further (partial) hearing loss on the left side without any further cranial nerve dysfunction; unfortunately, the corresponding audiogram is currently not available. GTV margins were equal to clinical target volume (CTV) [Figure 2b]; planning target volume (PTV) margins were not required.
