Abstract:

OBJECTIVEStereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been used to treat trigeminal neuralgia by targeting the cisternal segment of the trigeminal nerve, which in turn triggers changes in the gasserian ganglion. In the lumbar spine, the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is responsible for transmitting pain sensitivity and is involved in the pathogenesis of peripheral neuropathic pain. Therefore, radiosurgery to the DRG might improve chronic peripheral pain. This study evaluated the clinical and histological effects of high-dose radiosurgery to the DRG in a rodent model.METHODSEight Sprague-Dawley rats receive

Abstract INTRODUCTION Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a safe and effective technique to create lesions of the brain and trigeminal nerve (TGN) in order to achieve neuromodulation. The lumbar dorsal root ganglion (DRG) contains the body of the sensory neurons responsible for pain sensitivity and can be targeted to treat chronic and debilitating pain in the extremities. Neuromodulation of the DRG might therefore improve chronic peripheral pain. This study was performed to determine the feasibility as well as clinical and histological effects of delivering high dose SRS targeted to the lumbar

Abstract OBJECTIVE Although relevant information exists regarding the chance of obliterating arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using radiosurgery, the overall chance of cure after gamma knife radiosurgery is usually only extrapolated from a portion of all monitored patients. This chance and the risks involved in radiosurgery, including repeat treatment when necessary in a defined population of treated patients, were analyzed in our study. METHODS Between October 1992 and June 2000, gamma knife radiosurgery was performed on 330 patients with AVMs. The volume of the AVM nidus ranged from 0.15 t

Abstract:

Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) evolved from the vision of Lars Leksell as a method of bloodless surgery for treating a wide variety of intracranial pathologies. Since the first GKRS procedure for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in the early 1970s, thousands of medically refractory patients have been treated, with good results. GKRS has become a first-line treatment for medically refractory TN along with microvascular decompression and percutaneous rhizotomy. GKRS offers the advantages of minimal invasiveness and extremely low risk. When recommending a surgical treatment modality for medically refra

Abstract:

Object. In this report the authors explore the use of standardized plugging templates in formulating stereotactic radiosurgery dose plans for the Leksell gamma knife. Methods. Unplugged gamma knife dose plans previously used in the treatment of patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and vestibular schwannoma (VS) were studied. Standardized plugging templates were then superimposed on these plans, and their effects on the conformity index of tumors and the transposition of the radiation field from the brainstem to the cerebrospinal fluid spaces for the trigeminal cases were examined.

Abstract:

Object. The authors evaluated the long-term efficacy of gamma knife surgery (GKS) in patients with trigeminal schwannomas. Methods. Fifty-six patients, 31 women and 25 men (mean age 42 years), underwent GKS for trigeminal schwannomas. Fourteen had previously undergone surgery, and GKS was the primary treatment in the remaining 42 patients. The mean target volume was 8.7 cm3 (range 0.8–33 cm3); the mean maximum dose was 27 Gy (range 20–40 Gy); the mean tumor margin dose was 13.3 Gy (range 10–15 Gy); and the mean follow-up period was 68 months (range 27–114 months).
