Repeat Gamma Knife surgery for vestibular schwannomas
BACKGROUND Gamma Knife (GK) surgery is a recognized treatment option for the management of small to medium-sized vestibular schwannoma (VS) associated with high-tumor control and low morbidity. When a radiosurgical treatment fails to stop tumor growth, repeat GK surgery can be proposed in selected cases. METHODS A series of 27 GK retreatments was performed in 25 patients with VS; 2 patients u...
متن کاملGamma 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 surgery for facial nerve schwannomas.
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 surgery in vestibular schwannomas: impact on the anterior and posterior labyrinth.
OBJECT During the past decades, in small-to-medium size vestibular schwannomas, Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) has become a reliable therapeutic option because of either excellent local tumor control or minimal morbidity, with cranial neuropathy becoming increasingly rare. Although still insufficiently analyzed in larger cohorts of patients with long-term follow-ups, adequate chances of hearing pres...
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...
