“…14,18) This observation is in concordance with experimental results, which showed that presence of a``hot spot'' within the lesion is more likely provide the desired radiobiological outcome for GKS. 36) At the same time, the risk of complications is not increased, unless treatment is insufficiently selective and high-dose irradiation extends over the adjacent normal tissue.…”

“…15) On the other hand, cranial neuropathy in patients with schwannomas was seemingly caused by transient enlargement of the lesion, which is rather common after radiosurgery for this type of tumors and probably relates to inflammatory changes after irradiation. 6,11,18,34) Meanwhile, transient abducens nerve palsy in one patient with cisternocavernous abducens nerve schwannoma fully resolved but re-appeared 2 years after radiosurgery due to formation of the intratumoral cyst, which showed spontaneous regression during the longer follow-up period.…”

“…Advances in the gamma knife radiosurgery unit-including the automatic positioning system, gamma plan, and (more recently) the new Perfexion system-provide higher accuracy and improved patient convenience and comfort. Hayashi et al (Hayashi et al, 2006) introduced the concept of robotic micro-radiosurgery and demonstrated high accuracy in the planning of gamma knife radiosurgery.…”
