Cranial nerve length predicts the risk of delayed facial and trigeminal neuropathies after acoustic tumor stereotactic radiosurgery

ME Linskey, JC Flickinger, LD Lunsford - International Journal of Radiation …, 1993 - Elsevier
Purpose: To test the hypothesis that length of cranial nerve irradiated is a major factor
predicting the risk of cranial nerve injury following radiosurgery and to identify any other
significant related treatment factors. Methods and Materials: Ninety-two patients (93 acoustic
tumors) were treated with a 201 source Cobalt-60 gamma unit from 1987 to 1990 and
prospectively followed. The range of minimum tumor dose was 12–20 Gy and maximum
dose 24–50 Gy. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate any correlations …
