CyberKnife radiosurgery for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia.
OBJECT Gamma knife surgery is an accepted treatment option for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The safety and efficacy of CyberKnife radiosurgery as a treatment option for TN, however, has not been established. METHODS Forty-one patients were treated between May 2002 and September 2004 for idiopathic TN at Stanford University and the Rocky Mountain CyberKnife Center. Patients with atypical pain, m...
متن کاملCyberknife radiosurgery in treating trigeminal neuralgia.
PURPOSE To assess the short term efficacy of Cyberknife stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). METHODS 17 consecutive patients with medically or surgically refractory unilateral TN were treated with Cyberknife radiosurgery. Using superimposed CT cisternogram and MR images, the target segment of the trigeminal nerve was consistently defined as a 6 mm length of nerve...
متن کاملCyberknife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia treatment: a preliminary multicenter experience.
OBJECTIVE Radiosurgery has gained acceptance as a treatment option for trigeminal neuralgia. We report our preliminary multicenter experience treating trigeminal neuralgia with the CyberKnife (Accuray, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA). METHODS A total of 95 patients were treated for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia between May 2002 and October 2005. Radiosurgical dose and volume parameters were retrospect...
متن کاملRefractory trigeminal neuralgia treatment outcomes following CyberKnife radiosurgery
INTRODUCTION A handful of studies have reported outcomes with CyberKnife radiosurgery (CKRS) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. However, the follow-up has been short with no minimum follow-up required and have included patients with short duration of symptoms. Here we report our institutional experience on patients with a minimum follow-up of 1 year and a median follow-up of 28 months (...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is a pain syndrome recognizable by patient history alone. The condition is characterized by intermittent unilateral facial pain. The pain follows the unilateral (>95%) sensory distribution of trigeminal nerve (V), typically radiating to the maxillary (V2) or mandibular (V3) area. Ophthalmic division (V1) pain alone occurs in <5% patients....
