[High-grade glioma after stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma].

چکیده
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 radiosurgery treatment for a vestibular schwannoma in a 69 year-old woman. A detailed description of these cases is provided, as well as a summary of the related literature.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for the Vestibular Schwannomas, Technical Considerations and Hydrocephalus as a Complication
Vestibular schwannomas are slow-growing, benign tumours. Microsurgery has been the standard treatment for vestibular schwannoma over the past 30 years. Following the introduction of stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of vestibular schwannoma in 1969, its increasing use worldwide had led to its acceptance by many as a safe and efficient alternative to microsurgery. The primary advantage...
متن کاملClinical and histopathologic features of recurrent vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma) after stereotactic radiosurgery.
OBJECTIVE Stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma entails uncertain long-term risk of tumor recurrence and delayed cranial neuropathies. In addition, the underlying histopathologic changes to the tumor bed are not fully characterized. We seek to understand the clinical and histologic features of recurrent vestibular schwannoma after stereotactic radiation therapy. STUDY DESIGN Ret...
متن کاملAsymmetric sensorineural hearing loss caused by vestibular schwannoma: Characteristic imaging features before and after treatment with stereotactic radiosurgery
We report the case of a 71-year-old man who presented with a 2-year history of progressive left-sided hearing loss caused by a cerebellopontine angle mass lesion with classic imaging characteristics of a vestibular schwannoma. Vestibular schwannomas are typically diagnosed on dedicated MRI of the internal auditory canals obtained for asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss, as in this case. We re...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate the results of local control and complications in the treatment of vestibular schwannoma treated with radiation. METHODS A retrospective study of 194 patients diagnosed with vestibular schwannoma, treated consecutively with radiation (either stereotactic radiosurgery or fractionated radiotherapy) from 1997 to 2012. We analyze the local control of tumors...
متن کاملCyberknife radiotherapy for vestibular schwannoma.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is a well-established treatment modality for vestibular schwannoma. Initial reports using single-stage radiosurgery have demonstrated excellent tumor control rates. Many patients now elect to undergo radiosurgery given the potential for tumor control while avoiding the morbidity associated with microsurgical resection. In attempt to improve hearing preservation rates o...
