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.

Acute symptoms after gamma knife radiosurgery

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2002
Object. The purpose of this study was to examine the widely held assumption that early-onset symptoms after gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) are uncommon. The study was designed to include all types of morbidity and not just those that lead to neurological dysfunction.

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.

Gamma knife radiosurgery for trigeminal schwannomas

Surgical Neurology, 2004
Trigeminal schwannomas are uncommon tumors that may be microsurgically removed in selected cases, albeit with significant risk for new neurological morbidity. We evaluated the role of stereotactic radiosurgery as an alternative for patients with newly diagnosed or residual trigeminal schwannomas.The records of 23 patients who underwent radiosurgery for

Gamma knife radiosurgery for intraventricular meningiomas

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2009
Intraventricular meningiomas are relatively rare tumors that may benefit from stereotactic radiosurgery as a minimally invasive treatment strategy. We report our experience using gamma knife radiosurgery (GKR) for intraventricular meningiomas.Over a 16-year period, we identified 9 patients with intraventricular meningiomas who were eligible for GKR out

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Acoustic Neurinomas

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2001
The authors report on their series of 40 patients with 41 acoustic neurinomas (ACNs), including one patient with bilateral acoustic neurinomas suffering from neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF II) who were treated with the gamma knife unit at their institution between August 1992 and October 1995.

Leksell Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

2019
Lars Leksell’s conception of stereotactic radiosurgery and the invention of the Gamma Knife as a means to realize his idea was the result of his integration of a many parallel developments in neurosurgery and radiology. Throughout its history, Gamma Knife radiosurgery has continued to evolve in order to take advantage of new imaging modalities ...
