Summary

Radiosurgery effectively reduced hemorrhage risk in high-risk cavernous malformations (CMs) and controlled seizures. However, radiation-induced complications and post-treatment imaging changes require further investigation for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Surgically high-risk symptomatic cavernous malformations (CMs) pose challenges for hemorrhage reduction and seizure control.
  • The efficacy and complications of radiosurgery for CMs are not well-documented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and complications of radiosurgery in 22 patients with symptomatic cavernous malformations.
  • To evaluate the impact of radiosurgery on hemorrhage risk and seizure control.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 22 patients treated with linear accelerator (LINAC) or Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery between 1995-1998.
  • Review of medical records and radiological investigations, with a median follow-up of 38.3 months.
  • Analysis of hemorrhage, seizure, and neurological deterioration rates post-radiosurgery.

Main Results:

  • One hemorrhage occurred during follow-up; seizures were well-controlled.
  • Hemorrhage rate decreased significantly post-radiosurgery (1.55%/year vs. 35.5%/year).
  • Six patients experienced neurological deterioration, with two persistent deficits in the LINAC group; perilesional changes on MR images were linked to treatment modality.

Conclusions:

  • Radiosurgery is a viable option for surgically high-risk CMs, but optimal technique and dose are crucial.
  • Radiosurgery-induced complications remain a concern.
  • Further research is needed to understand post-radiosurgery MR image changes.
