Gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas.
Radiosurgery is a surgical procedure associated with minimal functional morbidity and allows patients to return rapidly to their previous level of activity. Most tumors regress in volume with extended follow-up, and the rare occurrence of tumor growth after radiosurgery seems to occur early. Similarly, cranial neuropathy or other neurologic symptoms after irradiation occur within the first few ...
متن کاملGamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Nonvestibular Cranial Nerve Schwannomas.
BACKGROUND Nonvestibular cranial schwannomas represent a rare type of benign intracranial tumor. Few studies have evaluated the use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) as a primary management option for these lesions. We performed a retrospective review of our institution's experience focusing on efficacy with regard to tumor control and clinical symptom stabilization as well as treatment safety...
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, ...

OBJECT The aim of this study was to evaluate the tumor control rate and functional outcomes after Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) among patients with a facial nerve schwannoma. METHODS The authors reviewed the radiological data and clinical records for 14 patients who had consecutively undergone GKS for a facial nerve schwannoma. Before GKS, 12 patients had facial palsy, 7 patients had hearing dist...
متن کاملGamma Knife Radiation Therapy for Intralabyrinthine Schwannomas
Background: Intralabyrinthine schwannoma are rare benign tumors exclusively managed to date with observation or surgical removal. We analyze results of radiosurgical treatment of these lesions. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical data of 454 patients with vestibular schwannomas treated by Gamma Knife in our center was performed. We identify 12 patients treated for a schwannoma located pa...
