EP-1117: Frameless radiosurgery for acoustic schwannoma: a five year experience

Management of Laryngotracheal Trauma: A Five-Year Single Institution Experience

Introduction: Laryngotracheal trauma is a rare life-threatening emergency that requires early identification and immediate intervention. Here, we present 26 patients with laryngotracheal trauma from a tertiary hospital in India. The aim was to describe the clinical presentation and management of laryngotracheal trauma patients.   Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of laryngot...

Frameless Fractionated Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannomas: A Single-Institution Experience

OBJECTIVE To examine tumor control, hearing preservation, and complication rates after frameless fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS). METHODS Thirty-seven patients treated with fractionated SRS from 2002 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Ninety-five percent were treated with 25 Gy in five fractions, targeting a median tumor volume of ...

Clinical experience with two frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) systems using optical surface imaging for motion monitoring

The purpose of this study was to compare two clinical immobilization systems for intracranial frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (fSRS) under the same clinical procedure using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for setup and video-based optical surface imaging (OSI) for initial head alignment and intrafractional motion monitoring. A previously established fSRS procedure was applied using two...

Radiosurgery as Treatment for Acoustic Neuroma. Ten Years’ Experience

Initial experience with using frameless image-guided radiosurgery for the treatment of brain metastases.

AIM Recent technologic advances have led to the development of frameless radiosurgery. We report our initial results using frameless image-guided radiosurgery for the management of brain metastases. METHODS Over a 2-year period, 16 patients harboring 28 lesions were treated in our institution. 12 of 16 patients were treated in a single fraction, but 4 patients were treated using fractioned st...
