Linear accelerator radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma.
OBJECT The use of radiosurgery in the treatment of acoustic neuromas has increased substantially during the last decade. Most published experience relates to the use of the gamma knife. In this report, the authors review the methods and results of linear accelerator (LINAC) radiosurgery in 44 patients with acoustic neuromas who were treated between 1993 and 1997. METHODS Computerized tomograp...
متن کامل[High-grade glioma after stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma].
Stereotactic radiosurgery undoubtedly represents an important therapeutic procedure for various intracranial pathologies, especially tumours, although they are not entirely complication-free. Radiosurgery have been considered a good management strategy for the majority of small-to-medium size vestibular schwannomas. The authors describe a case of high-grade glioma associated with a previous rad...
متن کاملThe newly diagnosed vestibular schwannoma: radiosurgery, resection, or observation?
OBJECT Management recommendations for patients with smaller-volume or newly diagnosed vestibular schwannomas (< 4 cm(3)) need to be based on an understanding of the anticipated natural history of the tumor and the side effects it produces. The natural history can then be compared with the risks and benefits of therapeutic intervention using a minimally invasive strategy such as stereotactic rad...
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 کاملSurgical salvage of recurrent vestibular schwannoma following prior stereotactic radiosurgery.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate outcomes of salvage surgery for vestibular schwannoma (VS) that failed primary stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). METHODS Case-control study of 37 patients who underwent surgical resection of sporadic VS following prior SRS at two tertiary academic referral centers between 2003 and 2015. A cohort of nonirradiated control subjects, matched according to tumor siz...
