Glioblastomas in patients with medulloblastomas after combined treatment

Increased Gray Matter Density in the Right Mesencephalic Tegmentum Is Associated With Better Engel Classes I and II After Radiosurgery for Hypothalamic Hamartomas

“…Surgical approaches can be performed by a variety of techniques, including pterional, 7 transcallosal interforniceal or endoscopic approaches, 8 vagus nerve stimulation, 9-12 callosotomies, stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation 13 laser thermocoagulation, 14 and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). 10,11,15,16 Whatever the technique used, approximately 30% to 40% of these patients are failing to respond to surgery directed toward the hamartoma itself. 17 We previously reported our prospective long-term trial of 48 patients treated with SRS, 12 with a rate of Engel class 18 I and II of 68.8% of patients.…”
