Communicating hydrocephalus is a known tumor-related syndrome associated with vestibular schwannoma, which can occur even in small tumor. Radiation has become a popular primary treatment option for small schwannoma; however, little is known about the efficacy and risk accompanying asymptomatic ventriculomegaly on images. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman who suffer from refractory communicating hydrocephalus after radiation for small vestibular schwannoma with asymptomatic ventriculomegaly. After the surgical removal of the tumor, hydrocephalus was gradually improved due to intermittent lumbar puncture and finally resolved without shunt placement. Surgical removal should be considered as the first option for the treatment, even if the patient is asymptomatic and the images revealed a small vestibular schwannoma with only slight ventricular enlargement.
