Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Transmodiolar Schwannoma

World Neurosurgery, 2020
Rare and deep located tumors are surgical challenge with high morbidity. Minimal invasive techniques should be encouraged for a better outcome. Intralabyrinthine schwannoma (ILS) is a rare benign tumor that usually presents with hearing loss and tinnitus. Surgery is associated with high rate of facial paralysis and deafness.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Vestibular Schwannomas

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2000
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.

Gamma knife radiosurgery

Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 1995
The concept of radiosurgery and its requirements are presented. Dedicated radiosurgical tools include the modified linear accelerators working with a single rotating beam and the Gamma Knife with multiple stationary radiation sources. The 201 gamma beams from the cobalt 60 sources of the Gamma Knife intersect within 0.3 mm and it is possible to align ...

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Pituitary Adenomas

Endocrine, 2005
Although surgical extirpation by transsphenoidal microsurgery is a major remedy for pituitary adenomas, adjuvant therapy also plays an important role in achieving tumor growth control and endocrine normalization in hormone-secreting tumors. Historically, the treatment options for pituitary adenomas included microsurgery, medical management, and ...

The role of gamma knife radiosurgery in children

Child's Nervous System, 2001
Despite advances in microneurosurgery, the surgical management of deep-seated lesions is still associated with a high risk. Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS), however, has improved the outcome of cerebral tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in delicate areas.Between March 1992 and June 1998, 50 children (age 1-16 years) with intracranial ...

GAMMA KNIFE RADIOSURGERY FOR FACIAL SCHWANNOMAS

Neurosurgery, 2009
Patients who have a schwannoma of the facial nerve (facial schwannoma, facial neuroma) can be managed with observation, surgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, or fractionated radiotherapy. Attempted complete resection is associated with facial weakness.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

2008
Professor Lars Leksell first coupled an orthovoltage X-ray tube with his first-generation guiding device to focus radiation on the Gasserian ganglion to treat facial pain. He subsequently investigated cross-fired protons as well as X-rays from an early-generation linear accelerator (linac) for radiosurgery. In the 1960s, he became dissatisfied with the

Gamma knife radiosurgery for cranial neurocytomas

Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2011
Gamma-knife surgery may be an effective alternative for treatment of central neurocytomas owing to its relative safety compared with conventional radiotherapy. In this paper we present results of gamma-knife treatment (GKS) of residual or recurrent neurocytomas.

Role of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery in Acromegaly

Pituitary, 1999
Stereotactic radiosurgery with the Gamma Knife allows the delivery of focused radiation in a single session from a Cobalt-60 source to a pituitary tumor with little radiation to surrounding normal brain tissue. At this time the major role for Gamma Knife radiosurgery in acromegaly is for the treatment of failed pituitary surgery although it may also by
