Radiosurgery is the precise application of focused radiation to a targeted volume area within the brain, which has been identified on MRI. With recent advances, radiosurgical treatment is now being evaluated as an alternative treatment to open resective surgery for intractable epilepsy. Recent prospective trials suggest that radiosurgery may be an effective and safe treatment for medically intractable epilepsy associated with mesial temporal sclerosis, cavernous malformations, and hypothalamic hamartomas.
放射外科是将聚焦辐射精确应用于 MRI 确定的脑内目标区域,最近的进展表明,放射外科治疗现在正在作为难治性癫痫的开放性切除术的替代治疗方法进行评估。最近的前瞻性试验表明,放射外科可能是治疗与内侧颞叶硬化、海绵状血管瘤和下丘脑错构瘤相关的药物难治性癫痫的有效和安全的治疗方法。
