Significats de trigeminal schwannomas en anglès

Conclusions: Gamma Knife surgery affords a favorable risk-to-benefit profile for patients harboring trigeminal schwannomas.

Larger studies with open-ended follow-up review will be necessary to determine the long-term results and complications of GKS in the treatment of trigeminal schwannomas.

More recently, neurosurgeons have begun to use radiosurgery in the treatment of trigeminal schwannomas because of its successful use in the treatment of vestibular schwannomas.

Methods: Twenty-six patients with trigeminal schwannomas underwent GKS at the University of Virginia Lars Leksell Gamma Knife Center between 1989 and 2005.
