    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has evolved significantly.
    • It integrates advanced diagnostic imaging techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development and scope of SRS.
    • To highlight its efficacy in treating specific brain conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes precise radiation delivery guided by advanced imaging.
    • Combines surgical precision with radiotherapy.

    Main Results:

    • SRS is a safe and effective treatment for inaccessible cerebral lesions.
    • Successfully treats small arteriovenous malformations.
    • Effective for acoustic neuroma and solid craniopharyngioma components.
    • Shows increasing utility in treating pituitary adenomas.

    Conclusions:

    • Stereotactic radiosurgery is a valuable therapeutic option for various brain pathologies.
    • Its combination with modern diagnostics enhances treatment outcomes.
    • SRS offers a minimally invasive approach for complex neurological conditions.
