Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Hemorrhagic Brainstem Cavernomas.
AIM Effectiveness and safety of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for hemorrhagic brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCM) is still an unresolved problem. The purpose of this study was to assess treatment results of GKRS for hemorrhagic BSCMs. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed of patients with hemorrhagic BSCMs who were treated at the Acıbadem Kozyatağı Hospital GKRS uni...
متن کاملHypertrophic olivary degeneration after gamma-knife radiosurgery for pontine metastasis.
We present a case of a 57-year-old woman who underwent gamma-knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for pontine metastasis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging 2.8 months after GKRS showed T₂ hyperintensity and hypertrophy of the left inferior olivary nucleus (ION) without gadolinium enhancement and smaller pontine metastasis. We diagnosed the signal change in the left ION as hypertrophic olivary degeneration (...
متن کاملGamma Knife Radiosurgery for Acromegaly
Acromegaly is debilitating disease occasionally refractory to surgical and medical treatment. Stereotactic radiosurgery, and in particular Gamma Knife surgery (GKS), has proven to be an effective noninvasive adjunct to traditional treatments, leading to disease remission in a substantial proportion of patients. Such remission holds the promise of eliminating the need for expensive medications, ...
متن کاملAn Overview of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Focusing on Brain Metastasis
The gamma knife (GK) focally irradiates targeted volumes, within the brain as well as its adjacent structures such as the orbit, the paranasal sinus and so on, in a highly conformal stereotactic manner. Frame fixation for head immobilization is employed during imaging and treatment, 3-D imaging and computer simulation during treatment planning, and target-focused beams from 201 cobalt60 radiati...
متن کاملOutcomes of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery in Patients With Parasagittal Meningioma
Background & Aim: The treatment of Parasagittal Meningioma (PSM) is always a challenge, especially when the tumor has already invaded the critical structures like venous sinuses. This study aims at evaluating the outcomes of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKRS) in patients with PSM. Methods and Materials/Patients: In this descriptive retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of 61 patien...
