Stereotactic radiosurgery using the gamma unit has been used to manage patients with brain stem tumors or vascular malformations as an alternative to microsurgical resection. Whether associated with the pial or ependymal brain stem surface or within the brain stem parenchyma proper, radiosurgery provides relatively safe and effective management. Radiosurgery is a valuable alternative for many patients with pathologic lesions of the brain stem and may represent the only surgical option for some patients.
使用伽马刀的立体定向放射外科已被用于治疗脑干肿瘤或血管畸形患者，作为显微手术切除的替代方法。无论病变是与软脑膜或室管膜脑干表面相关，还是位于脑干实质内，放射外科都能提供相对安全有效的治疗。对于许多患有脑干病理性病变的患者来说，放射外科是一种有价值的替代方法，对一些患者而言可能是唯一的手术选择。
