This white paper will focus on trigeminal neuralgia (TN) with sections one though five (IV) comprising a general review of trigeminal neuralgia from eMedicine.com, more information can be found at http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1145144-overview and http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/248933-overview. Section six (VI) will provide an overview of imaging associated with TN. Section seven...

A section of this issue of TCRT focuses on four articles dealing with technological advances in brain and spine radiosurgery. With the evolution of radiation technology to allow for high precision image-guided radiotherapy as an integrated part of mainstream linear accelerators, the practice of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is commonly applied to the brain and is rapidly developing as an attr...

Stereotactic Radiosurgery has been widely utilized for the treatment of intracranial lesions, and this paper presents our experience in treating schwannomas Bangladesh. This case series was described to present institutional procedural technique adapted using stereotactic (SRS) by Linear accelerators. since starting radiosurgery program March 2019, we have treated three patients schwannoma. Two...

The incidence of brain metastases range from 10 to 20% of all adult patients with cancer and lung cancer is associated with one of the highest incidences of brain metastases. In geriatric patients, who already have limited cognitive function, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) can be a problem. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a one day, outpatient treatment with minimal effect to normal br...

Stereotactic radiosurgery, known for efficacy in the noninvasive treatment of tumors or arteriovenous malformations that are otherwise difficult to access through traditional surgery, is an emerging technology in the treatment of focal epileptic lesions. Recent studies in the treatment of hypothalamic hamartoma and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy further suggest that seizures in these medically i...

Stereotactic radiosurgery undoubtedly represents an important therapeutic procedure for various intracranial pathologies, especially tumours, although they are not entirely complication-free. Radiosurgery have been considered a good management strategy for the majority of small-to-medium size vestibular schwannomas. The authors describe a case of high-grade glioma associated with a previous rad...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND The study focused on the evaluation of the accuracy of intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery treatments delivered with helical tomotherapy by means of the InterFix™ Radiosurgery kit. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Twenty-two patients received stereotactic radiosurgery treatments with single fraction dose ranging from 13 to 20 Gy depending on diagnosis. Megavoltage computed tomo...

Stereotactic radiosurgery is being increasingly advocated as the primary modality for treatment of vestibular schwannomas (VS). This modality has been shown to arrest tumor growth, with few associated short-term morbidities, and with possibly better hearing and facial nerve preservation rates than microsurgery. Radiation-induced oncogenesis has long been recognized, although stereotactic radios...
