Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for patients with brainstem cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs): an international, multicentric study.

Brainstem cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) are clinically more aggressive compared to superficial CCMs. Due to their location, resection can be challenging, making stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) an attractive alternative for symptomatic patient. Brainstem CCM patients (n = 170) were treated with Gamma Knife SRS at 11 radiosurgical centers.

Institutional Experience of Post-Traumatic Posterior Fossa Extra Dural Hematoma: A Prospective Longitudinal Study.

Aim: To analyze clinical and imaging characteristics of post-traumatic posterior fossa extradural hematoma (PFEDH).

Material And Methods: Between 2018 and 2022, 51 patients were admitted to our tertiary care trauma center with a diagnosis of PFEDH. The management decision was tailored by an individual consultant based on clinicoradiological findings.

Pediatric cerebral cavernous malformations and stereotactic radiosurgery: an analysis of 50 cases from a multicentric study.

Objective: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are the second most common vascular anomaly affecting the CNS in children. Although stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been proposed as an alternative to microsurgery in the management of selected cases in adults, there is a paucity of studies focusing on pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to present the outcomes and associated risks of SRS in this subgroup of patients.

Clinical outcomes following stereotactic radiosurgery for cerebral cavernous malformations of the basal ganglia and thalamus.

Objective: There are few reports of outcomes following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the management of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) of the basal ganglia or thalamus. Therefore, the authors aimed to clarify these outcomes.

Methods: Centers participating in the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation were queried for CCM cases managed with SRS from October 2001 to February 2021.

Stereotactic radiosurgery for haemorrhagic cerebral cavernous malformation: a multi-institutional, retrospective study.

Background: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) frequently manifest with haemorrhages. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been employed for CCM not suitable for resection. Its effect on reducing haemorrhage risk is still controversial.

Epilepsy associated with cerebral cavernous malformations managed with stereotactic radiosurgery: an international, multicenter study.

Objective: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been proposed as an alternative to resection for epilepsy control in patients with cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) located in critical areas.

Methods: This multicentric, retrospective study evaluated seizure control in patients with a solitary CCM and a history of at least one seizure prior to SRS.

Results: 109 patients (median age at diagnosis 28.

PRIDE complex-like skin rash associated with bevacizumab.

Bevacizumab-induced rash is a rarely reported complication with very few insights into its epidemiology, pathophysiology, management and relationship with therapeutic efficacy. We report a case of ruptured occipital arteriovenous malformation treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. The patient developed steroid-resistant radiosurgery-induced brain oedema.
