Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) offers a noninvasive technique for division of the corpus callosum, which can confer improved seizure control to patients suffering from frequent atonic seizures due to rapid interhemispheric generalization. This noninvasive approach is well-suited for use in a palliative intervention for improved seizure control in this patient population. To our knowledge, this is the first report of radiosurgical completion corpus callosotomy in an adult in the United States.

Objective Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a very rare condition, affecting the patient's quality of life. We report our experience in drug-resistant, idiopathic GPN, treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS), in terms of safety and efficiency, on a very long-term basis. Methods The study was opened, self-controlled, non-comparative and bicentric (Marseille and Lausanne University Hospitals).

Inserm U751, Department of Functional and Stereotactic Neurosurgery Unit, centre hospitalier universitaire La Timone Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Marseille, Aix Marseille University, 13385 Marseille, France.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term results of Gamma-knife radiosurgery treatment of vestibular schwannomas in type 2 neurofibromatosis patients.

Materials And Methods: A cohort of 129 treatments for vestibular schwannomas in 103 patients was selected from a prospectively-maintained clinical database. Tumor control was assessed by volumetric analysis of the tumor at the last follow-up.

Objective: Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) is one of the surgical alternatives for the treatment of drug-resistant trigeminal neuralgia (TN). This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GKS in a large population of patients with TN with very long-term clinical follow-up.

Methods: Between July 1992 and November 2010, 737 patients presenting with TN were treated using GKS.

Background: Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the reference technique for pharmacoresistant trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

Objective: To establish whether the safety and efficacy of Gamma Knife surgery for recurrent TN are influenced by prior MVD.

Methods: Between July 1992 and November 2010, 54 of 737 patients (45 of 497 with >1 year of follow-up) had a history of MVD (approximately half also with previous ablative procedure) and were operated on with Gamma Knife surgery for TN in the Timone University Hospital.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) secondary to megadolichobasilar artery (MBA) compression is considerably difficult to manage surgically.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the safety/efficacy of Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) in this special group of patients.

Methods: Between July 1992 and November 2010, 29 patients with >1 year of follow-up presenting with MBA compression were treated with GKS at Timone University Hospital.
