Abstract
Introduction: Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRT) is routinely used for the treatment of benign tumors involving the cavernous sinus, including meningiomas and pituitary adenomas. Radiation to this area carries theoretical risk to the cavernous ICA. Prior experience with conventional radiosurgery has demonstrated radiation to large-diameter vessels can lead to stenotic occlusion of the vessel and stroke. The effect of GKRT on small intracranial vessels is well known in the AVM literature, but the effect on large intracranial vessels has not been well studied.
