Abstract
BACKGROUND: Acoustic neuroma is the most common extra-axial primary cerebellopontine angle tumour in adults. A plethora of studies have been published about acoustic neuroma, but none of the previous works have highlighted the most influential articles.
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to perform a bibliometric analysis on the 50 most-cited articles concerning acoustic neuroma.
METHODS: We performed a title-specific search on the Scopus database, using the following terms: 'acoustic neuroma,' 'vestibular schwannoma,' and 'cerebellopontine angle' as search queries. Through this, we recorded the 50 most-cited articles and reviewed them.
RESULTS: Overall, the 50 most-cited articles had an average of 175 citations per paper. All articles were published between 1980 and 2006, with 1997 the most prolific year, when seven articles were published. In publication medium, the journals Neurosurgery and Laryngoscope published 10 and eight of these articles, respectively. The most common study categories were nonsurgical management (17 of 50) and surgical management (13 of 50). The studies were predominantly published by otolaryngologists (22 of 50) and neurosurgeons (14 of 50). The author with the highest number of contributions was Douglas Kondziolka, with seven publications. Finally, the majority of the most-cited articles were produced in the United States (64%).
CONCLUSIONS: Identifying the works with the most impact concerning acoustic neuroma provides an important overview of the historical development of treatment methods and publication trends related to this condition. A finalised, comprehensive list of the most important works represents an excellent tool that can serve as a guide for evidence-based clinical practice.
