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.
