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 کاملHearing Preservation after Low-dose Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Vestibular Schwannomas
The objective of the retrospective study was to evaluate the factors associated with hearing preservation after low-dose Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) of vestibular schwannomas performed according to the modern standards. From January 2005 to September 2010, 141 consecutive patients underwent such treatment in Tokyo Women's Medical University. Mean marginal dose was 11.9 Gy (range, 11-12 Gy). ...
متن کاملRepeat 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 کاملLong-term outcomes of Gamma Knife radiosurgery in patients with vestibular schwannomas.
OBJECT The authors sought to determine the long-term tumor control and side effects of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) in patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS). METHODS One hundred seventeen patients with VS underwent GKRS between January 1997 and February 2003. At the time of analysis, at least 5 years had passed since GKRS in all patients. The mean patient age was 60.9 years. The mean m...
