Gamma Knife radiosurgery and refractory glossopharyngeal neuralgia: a single-center series with long-term follow-up.

We present our experience with Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) and refractory glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN), analyzing its usefulness and safety in patients with or without previous surgeries, another concomitant neuralgia, or retreats. In addition, we study some factors that could condition the outcome of this technique. According to our review, our follow-up is the longest in the literature.

Jugulotympanic paragangliomas treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery: a single-center review of 58 cases.

Object: Jugulotympanic paragangliomas (JTPs) are rare benign tumors whose surgical treatment is usually associated with partial resection of the lesion, high morbidity, and even death. Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been reported as a useful treatment option. The goal of this retrospective study is to analyze the role of GKRS in tumor volume control and clinical outcomes of these patients.
