Posterior fossa metastases: risk of leptomeningeal disease when treated with stereotactic radiosurgery compared to surgery.

Introduction: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) represents a diffuse form of central nervous system metastatic disease that is often associated with poor quality of life and prognosis. Our objective was to compare the incidence of LMD in patients with posterior fossa metastases (PFM) following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) versus surgical resection.

Methods: The medical records of 93 patients aged 57.

Posterior fossa metastases: aggressive treatment improves survival.

Background: Brain metastases are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with malignancies. Infratentorial location has been considered a negative prognostic factor.

Methods: This retrospective study evaluated patients with cerebellar metastasis.
