Staged embolization with staged gamma knife radiosurgery to treat a large AVM.
Treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is complicated because of many factors including increasing size, eloquent location, and risk of unacceptable neurological deficits. Each of the treatment modalities, microsurgery, embolization, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), has its pros and cons. Surgery and embolization are limited by location, size, and afferent and efferent vessel anato...
متن کاملTime-Staged Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Large Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations: A Preliminary Report
OBJECTIVE We retrospectively analyzed our experience with time-staged gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKS) in treating large arteriovenous malformation(AVM)s;≥ 10 cm3). METHODS Forty-five patients who underwent time-staged GKS (2-stage, n = 37;3-stage,n = 8) between March 1998 and December 2011 were included. The mean volume treated was 20.42±6.29 cm3 (range, 10.20-38.50 cm3). Oblitera...
متن کاملEmbolization with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Giant Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations.
AIM Giant arteriovenous malformations (i.e., those greater than 6 cm maximum diameter or volume > 33 cc) are difficult to treat and often carry higher treatment morbidity and mortality rates. In our study, we reviewed the angiographic results and clinical outcomes for 11 patients with giant arteriovenous malformations who were treated between 1994 and 2012.

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...
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, ...
