| Abstract |
Recent years have seen substantial news and updates in the genetics and diagnosis of schwannomas, even a new hereditary disease with schwannomas; Schwannomatosis has been defined. These developments have consequently led to better evaluation of the incidence of schwannomas. Although there has also been progress in the treatment of schwannomas especially in the field of radiation therapy, hereditary diseases with multiple tumours still represent a therapeutic dilemma. NF2 in particular still causes major morbidity and mortality owing to the neurological deficit of multiple tumour disease and deafness caused by vestibular nerve involvement. Thus there has been great enthusiasm about disease models in the hope that translational research will give rise to new therapies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 May 2021.
All research outputs
#7,453,479
of 22,786,691 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neurology
#1,774
of 4,475 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#41,531
of 155,688 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neurology
#4
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,786,691 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,475 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 155,688 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
