WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE?
Gamma Knife is used for treatment of Arteriovenous
Malformations of the brain (AVMs), benign and malignant tumours
like Meningiomas, Acoustic Neurinomas, Pineal region tumours,
Gliomas, Pituitary Adenomas and Metastatic tumours as well
as Functional disorders like Trigeminal Neuralgia, Intractable
Pain, Epilepsy and Parkinson's Disease.It can also be used
as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of residual and recurrent
lesions left unresected by Conventional Neurosurgery. It can
be especially useful to those patients who are not suitable
for standard surgical technique due to illness or advanced
age.
In many neurosurgical cases Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
is the only feasible modality.
