Abstract
Here we discuss the low risk of radiation-related complications after Leksell radiosurgery, as well as its diagnosis and management. Using multimodality imaging in the context of clinical suspicion of radiation injury clinicians can now start management with agents designed to reduce the progression of radiation vasculopathy. In more severe cases both medical and surgical management options can be offered.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
