The GKRS had a partial effect on her postural tremor without side effects, but there was no reduction of her kinetic tremor or improvement in her quality of life (QoL). The patient subsequently underwent a MRgFUS thalamotomy, which induced an immediate and marked reduction in both the postural and kinetic tremor components, with minor complications (left upper lip hypesthesia, dysmetria in her left hand, and slight gait ataxia). The MRgFUS-induced lesion was centered more medially than the GKRS-induced lesion and extended more posteriorly and inferiorly. The MRgFUS-induced lesion interrupted remaining fibers of the dentatorubrothalamic tract (DRTT). The functional improvement 1-year post-MRgFUS was significant due to a marked reduction of the patient's kinetic tremor.

The side effects persisted but were minor, with no impact on her QoL.

This study aims to investigate the incidence and outcomes of patchy alopecia following SRS for patients with calvarial or scalp lesions and establish preventive guidelines. Methods: The study included 20 patients who underwent CyberKnife SRS for calvarial or scalp lesions, resulting in a total of 30 treated lesions. SRS was administered as a single fraction for 8 lesions and hypofractionated for 22 lesions. The median SRS target volume was 9.85 cc (range: 0.81–110.7 cc), and the median prescription dose was 27 Gy (range: 16–40 Gy), delivered in 1–5 fractions (median: 3). The median follow-up was 15 months. Results: Among the 30 treated lesions, 11 led to patchy alopecia, while 19 did not. All cases of alopecia resolved within 12 months, and no patients experienced other adverse radiation effects. Lesions resulting in alopecia exhibited significantly higher biologically effective dose (BED) and single-fraction equivalent dose (SFED) on the overlying scalp compared to those without alopecia. Patients with BED and SFED exceeding 60 Gy and 20 Gy, respectively, were 9.3 times more likely to experience patchy alopecia than those with lower doses. The 1-year local tumor control rate for the treated lesions was 93.3%. Chemotherapy was administered for 26 lesions, with 11 lesions receiving radiosensitizing agents. However, no statistically significant difference was found. Conclusion: In summary, SRS is a safe and effective treatment for patients with calvarial/scalp masses regarding patchy alopecia near the treated area. Limiting the BED under 60 Gy and SFED under 20 Gy for the overlying scalp can help prevent patchy alopecia during SRS treatment of the calvarial/scalp mass.
