Abstract
Gamma knife radiosurgery, available since 1968, has been used increasingly in the past 15 years to treat intracranial meningiomas. The evolution of imaging techniques and dosing regimens is described. The modern experience with the use of gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of intracranial meningiomas is summarized. Morbidity and mortality of gamma knife-treated patients are discussed and compared with tumor control rates and morbidity figures for other treatments for intracranial meningiomas.
