First Few Cases of Intracranial Schwannoma treated with LINAC-based Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Bangladesh

Stereotactic Radiosurgery has been widely utilized for the treatment of intracranial lesions, and this paper presents our experience in treating schwannomas Bangladesh. This case series was described to present institutional procedural technique adapted using stereotactic (SRS) by Linear accelerators. since starting radiosurgery program March 2019, we have treated three patients schwannoma. Two had vestibular schwannoma, one Trigeminal Schwannoma. All first underwent surgical intervention on recurrence/progression with Radiosurgery. Tumor volume ranged from 4.47 10.22 cm3. The dose prescription ranges 13 14Gy or two fractions, which subject tumor volume, its proximity a critical structure, existing neurologic deficit, optimal balance between prescribed predicted complications. procedure free any immediate adverse event. LINAC based found be safe effective option schwannomas. very good clinical outcome, patient who more than one-year post-SRS revealed significant regression size tumor.
