Malignant transformation of a vestibular schwannoma after gamma knife radiosurgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is used to treat benign tumours, but its long-term effects are not fully understood. Here we describe a vestibular schwannoma that underwent malignant transformation 6 years after gamma knife radiosurgery applied to the tumour remnant after a primary resection. Histological specimens of the original specimen did not show any atypical features. Genotyping showed a TP53 ...
متن کاملChange in Tinnitus after Treatment of Vestibular Schwannoma: Microsurgery vs. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
PURPOSE Tinnitus is a very common symptom of vestibular schwannoma, present in 45 to 80% of patients. We evaluated changes in tinnitus after translabyrinthine microsurgery (TLM) or gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 78 patients with vestibular schwannoma who underwent TLM or GKS at Severance Hospital from 2009-2012, 46 patients with pre- or postoperative tinnitus who ...
متن کاملSerial follow-up MR imaging after gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Gamma knife radiosurgery has become an important treatment option for vestibular schwannoma. The effect of treatment can be assessed only by neuroimaging. We analyzed the evolution of follow-up MR imaging findings after gamma knife radiosurgery to provide information for the clinical management of these tumors. METHODS Changes in tumor volume and enhancement were assess...
متن کاملCommunicating hydrocephalus after gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma: an MR imaging study.
Vestibular schwannomas are common, and gamma knife radiosurgery is a treatment option of symptomatic tumors. Hydrocephalus may be a complication of gamma knife treatment of vestibular schwannoma, though the cause-and-effect relationship can be debated because tumors can cause hydrocephalus without treatment. We present an MR imaging study of an unusual case of communicating hydrocephalus after ...
متن کاملHearing Preservation after Low-dose Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Vestibular Schwannomas
The objective of the retrospective study was to evaluate the factors associated with hearing preservation after low-dose Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) of vestibular schwannomas performed according to the modern standards. From January 2005 to September 2010, 141 consecutive patients underwent such treatment in Tokyo Women's Medical University. Mean marginal dose was 11.9 Gy (range, 11-12 Gy). ...
