RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Surgery is the preferred treatment for large vestibular schwannomas (VS). Good tumor control and cranial nerve outcomes were described in selected Koos IV VS after single-session stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), but outcomes in elderly patients have never been specifically studied. The aim of this study is to report clinical and radiological outcomes after single-session SRS for Koos IV VS in patients ≥ 65 years old. METHOD: This multicenter, retrospective study included patients ≥ 65 years old, treated with primary, single-session SRS for a Koos IV VS, and at least 12 months of follow-up. Patients with life-threatening or incapacitating symptoms were excluded. Tumor control rate, hearing, trigeminal, and facial nerve function were studied at last follow-up. RESULTS: One-hundred and fifty patients (median age of 71.0 (IQR 9.0) years old with a median tumor volume of 8.3 cc (IQR 4.4)) were included. The median prescription dose was 12.0 Gy (IQR 1.4). The local tumor control rate was 96.0% and 86.2% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Early tumor expansion occurred in 6.7% and was symptomatic in 40% of cases. A serviceable hearing was present in 16.1% prior to SRS and in 7.4% at a last follow-up of 46.5 months (IQR 55.8). The actuarial serviceable hearing preservation rate was 69.3% and 50.9% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Facial nerve function preservation or improvement rates at 5 and 10 years were 98.7% and 91.0%, respectively. At last follow-up, the trigeminal nerve function was improved in 14.0%, stable in 80.7%, and worsened in 5.3% of the patients. ARE were noted in 12.7%. New hydrocephalus was seen in 8.0% of patients. CONCLUSION: SRS can be a safe alternative to surgery for selected Koos IV VS in patients ≥ 65 years old. Further follow-up is warranted.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Surgery is the treatment of choice for large vestibular schwannomas (VS). Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been suggested as an alternative to resection in selected patients. However, the safety and efficacy of SRS in Koos grade IV patients ≤ 45 years old has not been evaluated. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical and radiological outcomes of Koos grade IV in young patient managed with a single-session SRS. METHODS: This retrospective, multicenter analysis included SRS-treated patients, ≤ 45 years old presenting with non-life threatening or incapacitating symptoms due to a Koos Grade IV VS and with follow-up ≥ 12 months. Tumor control and neurological outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: 176 patients [median age of 36.0 (IQR 9) and median tumor volume of 9.3 cm3 (IQR 4.7)] were included. The median prescription dose was 12 Gy (IQR 0.5). Median follow-up period was 37.5 (IQR 53.5) months. The 5- and 10-year progression-free survival was 90.9% and 86.7%. Early tumor enlargement occurred in 10.9% of cases and was associated with tumor progression at the last follow-up. The probability of serviceable hearing preservation at 5- and 10-years was 56.8% and 45.2%, respectively. The probability of improvement or preservation of facial nerve function was 95.7% at 5 and 10-years. Adverse radiation effects were noted in 19.9%. New-onset hydrocephalus occurred in 4.0%. CONCLUSION: Single-session SRS is a safe and effective alternative to surgical resection in selected patients ≤ 45 years old particularly those with medical co-morbidities and those who decline resection. Longer term follow up is warranted.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Though stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an established safe treatment for small- and medium-sized vestibular schwannomas (VSs), its role in the management of Koos grade IV VS is still unclear. In this retrospective multicenter study, the authors evaluated tumor control and the patient outcomes of primary, single-session SRS treatment for Koos grade IV VS. METHODS: This study included patients treated with primary, single-session SRS for Koos grade IV VS at 10 participating centers. Only those patients presenting with non-life-threatening or incapacitating symptoms and at least 12 months of clinical and neuroimaging follow-up were eligible for inclusion. Relevant data were collected, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to perform time-dependent analysis for post-SRS tumor control, hearing preservation, and facial nerve function preservation. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for outcome measures using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: Six hundred twenty-seven patients (344 females, median patient age 54 [IQR 22] years) treated with primary SRS were included in this study. The median tumor volume was 8.7 (IQR 5) cm3. Before SRS, serviceable hearing, facial nerve weakness (House-Brackmann grade > I), and trigeminal neuropathy were present in 205 (33%), 48 (7.7%), and 203 (32.4%) patients, respectively. The median prescription dose was 12 (IQR 1) Gy. At a median radiological follow-up of 38 (IQR 54) months, tumor control was achieved in 94.1% of patients. Early tumor expansion occurred in 67 (10.7%) patients and was associated with a loss of tumor control at the last follow-up (p = 0.001). Serviceable hearing preservation rates at the 5- and 10-year follow-ups were 65% and 44.6%, respectively. Gardner-Robertson class > 1 (p = 0.003) and cochlear dose ≥ 4 Gy (p = 0.02) were risk factors for hearing loss. Facial nerve function deterioration occurred in 19 (3.0%) patients at the last follow-up and was associated with margin doses ≥ 13 Gy (p = 0.03) and early tumor expansion (p = 0.04). Post-SRS, 33 patients developed hydrocephalus requiring shunting. Adverse radiation effects occurred in 92 patients and were managed medically or surgically in 34 and 18 cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: SRS is a safe and effective method of obtaining tumor control in patients with Koos grade IV VS presenting with non-life-threatening or debilitating symptoms, especially those with surgical comorbidities that contraindicate resection. To decrease the incidence of post-SRS facial palsy, a prescription dose < 13 Gy is recommended.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Interventional MRI (iMRI)-guided implantation of deep brain stimulator (DBS) leads has been developed to treat patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) without the need for awake testing. OBJECTIVE: Direct comparisons of targeting accuracy and clinical outcomes for awake stereotactic with asleep iMRI-DBS for PD are limited. METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of patients with PD who underwent awake or iMRI-guided DBS surgery targeting the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus interna between 2013 and 2019 at our institution. Outcome measures included Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III scores, levodopa equivalent daily dose, radial error between intended and actual lead locations, stimulation parameters, and complications. RESULTS: Of the 218 patients included in the study, the iMRI cohort had smaller radial errors (iMRI: 1.27 ± 0.72 mm, awake: 1.59 ± 0.96 mm, P < .01) and fewer lead passes (iMRI: 1.0 ± 0.16, awake: 1.2 ± 0.41, P < .01). Changes in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale were similar between modalities, but awake cases had a greater reduction in levodopa equivalent daily dose than iMRI cases ( P < .01), which was attributed to the greater number of awake subthalamic nucleus cases on multivariate analysis. Effective clinical contacts used for stimulation, side effect thresholds, and complication rates were similar between modalities. CONCLUSION: Although iMRI-DBS may result in more accurate lead placement for intended target compared with awake-DBS, clinical outcomes were similar between surgical approaches. Ultimately, patient preference and surgeon experience with a given DBS technique should be the main factors when determining the "best" method for DBS implantation.
