Treatments might include different; 1) surgical approaches for removal or debulking (partial removal) of a tumor or bone, 2) of radiation treatment or 3) tumor drug treatment. [nf2is.org]
Radiosurgery Radiosurgery treatments can be single or fractionated (multiple smaller treatments rather than one large one). [hopkinsmedicine.org]
If medical treatment does not satisfactorily reduce the symptoms, surgical intervention with a procedure called Microvascular Decompression (MVD) can be performed. [californiaearinstitute.com]

A facial nerve monitor is used to prevent this, and is successful in all but rare cases. Spinal Fluid Leak: Spinal fluid is the fluid that bathes the brain and can leak out into the ear or the wound in any surgery when the dura mater is opened. [earassociates.com]
In most cases a barrier is placed between the two structures (such as Teflon felt) in order to prevent further compression in the future. [californiaearinstitute.com]
