Gamma Knife® stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSRS) has become a preferred management for recurrent or residual meningiomas...

... the trigeminal nerve pathways. The most frequent are meningiomas and vestibular schwannomas (VS). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has emerged as a valuable treatment, with heterogeneity of clinical results. We sought to review the medical literature on TN treated with SRS for meningiomas and VS and investigate...
