Biologically effective dose and prediction of obliteration of unruptured arteriovenous malformations treated by upfront Gamma Knife radiosurgery: a series of 149 consecutive cases

Constantin Tuleasca

OBJECTIVE Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) present no pathologic tissue, and radiation dose is confined in a clear targeted volume. The authors retrospectively evaluated the role of the biologically effective dose (BED) after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GK ...

Repeat stereotactic radiosurgery for progressive vestibular schwannomas after previous radiosurgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Constantin Tuleasca, Adrien Jean Régis Maurice Hilaire

Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are slow-growing intracranial extraaxial benign tumors, developing from the vestibular part of the eight cranial nerves. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has now a long-term scientific track record as first intention treatment fo ...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for intravestibular and intracochlear schwannomas

Constantin Tuleasca

BackgroundSchwannomas of the VIIIth cranial nerve are benign tumours, with vast majority occurring in vestibular division. Rarely, they can also arise from distal branches of cochlear, superior or inferior vestibular. We review our experience with Gamma Kn ...

Impact of biologically effective dose on tremor decrease after stereotactic radiosurgical thalamotomy for essential tremor: a retrospective longitudinal analysis

Constantin Tuleasca

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is one of the surgical alternatives for drug-resistant essential tremor (ET). Here, we aimed at evaluating whether biologically effective dose (BEDGy2.47) is relevant for tremor improvement after stereotactic radiosurgical t ...

Single-fraction radiosurgery outcomes for large vestibular schwannomas in the upfront or post-surgical setting: a systematic review and International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS) Practice Guidelines

Constantin Tuleasca

PurposeTo perform a systematic review of literature specific to single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for large vestibular schwannomas (VS), maximum diameter >= 2.5 cm and/or classified as Koos Grade IV, and to present consensus recommendations o ...

Graph Theoretical Analysis of Structural Covariance Reveals the Relevance of Visuospatial and Attentional Areas in Essential Tremor Recovery After Stereotactic Radiosurgical Thalamotomy

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Constantin Tuleasca

Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder. Its pathophysiology is only partially understood. Here, we leveraged graph theoretical analysis on structural covariance patterns quantified from morphometric estimates for cortical thickness, sur ...

The relevance of the artery of Adamkiewicz for microsurgical resection of spinal tumors- short overview and case series: Technical note

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction. - There is of major interest to know the exact anatomical location of artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA) for many spinal microsurgical procedures, so as to avoid postoperative ischemia of the spinal cord, with further devastating clinical impact. Me ...

The combination of stereotactic radiosurgery with immune checkpoint inhibition or targeted therapy in melanoma patients with brain metastases: a retrospective study

Constantin Tuleasca, Krisztian Homicsko, Filipe Amândio Brandão Sanches Vong Martins

Background Evidence pointing to a synergistic effect of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with concurrent immunotherapy or targeted therapy in patients with melanoma brain metastases (BM) is increasing. We aimed to analyze the effect on overall survival (OS) ...

Tumor control and radiobiological fingerprint after Gamma Knife radiosurgery for posterior fossa meningiomas: A series of 46 consecutive cases

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction: Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKR) can be a valuable treatment option for posterior cranial fossa meningiomas (PCFM). We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of GKR for PCFM.& nbsp;Methods: Were included forty-six patients with 47 PCFM. Primary endp ...

Proton beam radiation therapy for vestibular schwannomas-tumor control and hearing preservation rates: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Constantin Tuleasca

ObjectiveProton beam therapy is considered, by some authors, as having the advantage of delivering dose distributions more conformal to target compared with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of proton ...

The Brain Connectome after Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of the Ventro-Intermediate Nucleus for Tremor: Marseille-Lausanne Radiobiology Study Protocol

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Constantin Tuleasca

Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder. Deep brain stimulation is the current gold standard for drug-resistant tremor, followed by radiofrequency lesioning. Stereotactic radiosurgery by Gamma Knife (GK) is considered as a minimally inva ...

Surgery for clinoidal meningiomas with cavernous sinus extension: Near-total excision and chiasmopexy

Constantin Tuleasca

Background The main factors limiting the extent of resection for clinoidal meningiomas are cavernous sinus extension and vessel adventitia involvement. The proximity to the optic apparatus and the risk of radiation-induced optic neuropathy often prevents m ...
