BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Jugular paragangliomas (JPG) pose a surgical challenge because of their vascularity and complex location. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) offers minimally invasive management for patients with JPG. Our aim was to evaluate outcomes Gamma Knife (GKRS) the treatment JPG over long term. METHODS: We reviewed our 3.5-decade 17 800 patients' GKRS database. Clinical behavior, parameters, tumor control, complications, functional status were assessed. RESULTS: Forty (median...
BACKGROUND: Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) related to neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) are challenging tumors. The increasing use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) necessitates further investigations its role and safety. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate tumor control, freedom from additional treatment (FFAT), serviceable hearing preservation, radiation-related risks patients with NF2 after SRS for VS. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study 267 (328 VSs) who underwent single-session at 12 centers...
INTRODUCTION: The appropriate management of Koos grade I vestibular schwannomas (VS) remains controversial. METHODS: In a multicenter study, this report gathered and analyzed data retrospectively on VS patients who underwent SRS (SRS group) or were observed (observation group). Propensity score matching was utilized to equilibrate demographics, tumor size, audiometric across groups. outcome included control, preservation serviceable hearing (SHP), neurological function. RESULTS: study...
INTRODUCTION: Affecting 2.93 per 100,000 in the U.S., vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign tumors of eighth nerve. The management includes observation, operative resection, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). METHODS: A retrospective, multicentric analysis was conducted, focusing on patients with Koos grade II VS who either received SRS (SRS group) or were observed (observation group). To ensure comparability between groups, propensity score matching employed, including factors such as...
INTRODUCTION: Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) enables improved intraoperative visualization of gliomas and is performed using a microscope or exoscope (“scope(s)”) blue wavelength light. However, quality fluorescence limited by the scope’s focal length, light source placed far away from tissue interest. We hypothesized that close-proximity excitation novel handheld device (“NHD,” Nico Myriad fitted light) held directly over interest would improve compared...
