Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Craniopharyngiomas
Craniopharyngiomas are benign tumors with malignant clinical course. The microsurgical removal is desirable but perilous due to its adherence with adjacent neurovascular structures. In this webinar an account of our own experience with adult and pediatric cases will be provided and the literature reviewed to define the role of gamma knife radiosurgery in the management […]
Multi-Session Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Large Cavernous Sinus Hemangiomas: Medium- and Long-Term Outcomes
Cavernous sinus hemangiomas (CHSs) are rare extra-axial highly vascular, benign tumors that account for 2-3% of all lesions within the cavernous sinus. Before the era of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the preoperative radiological diagnosis of CSHs was difficult. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has emerged as a principal alternative to microsurgical resection for small and medium-sized CSHs. […]
SRS for Pituitary
In this webinar, I will cover the topic of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) for pituitary adenomas. In this context, I will review the safety and efficacy of SRS for nonfunctioning and functioning adenomas. In addition, I will discuss the results of multicenter trials on this topic.
SRS for Meningiomas
Meningiomas are rare benign tumors. The surgical excision still remains the first treatment option but, when a complete removal is not achievable, an alternative treatment modality has to be considered. In this sense, the radiosurgery represents the rising treatment paradigm. The present report, focus on the main problems related to the radiosurgery of the anterior […]
