Communicating 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 کاملMalignant 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 کاملAnalysis of risk factors to predict communicating hydrocephalus following gamma knife radiosurgery for intracranial schwannoma
Communicating hydrocephalus (HCP) in vestibular schwannomas (VS) after gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been reported in the literature. However, little information about its incidence and risk factors after GKRS for intracranial schwannomas is yet available. The objective of this study was to identify the incidence and risk factors for developing communicating HCP after GKRS for intracrania...
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 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, ...
