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 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 کاملHistopathological observations on vestibular schwannomas after Gamma Knife radiosurgery: the Marseille experience.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiosurgery has become a successful treatment modality in the management of vestibular schwannomas (VS) during the past four decades. Although the number of treated cases has been increasing continuously we know relatively little about the pathological effect of high dose irradiation on VS following radiosurgery. The purpose of this study was to analyze histopathological...
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 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 ...
