Treatment of Adverse Radiation Effects After Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKS) by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)
Description:
Patients will be recruited on the basis of the presence of cerebral radionecrosis post gamma
knife surgery, documented by both clinical examination (Rankin Scale) and instrumental
imaging (MRI). They will be subjected to hyperbaric oxygen therapy HBO, and during treatment
the patient performs clinical examination (Rankin Scale) for 24 sessions of HBO. Then they
will have a break of 10-15 days during which also performs the instrumental survey (Magnetic
Resonance Imaging). If the radionecrosis has regressed they will suspend the treatment
otherwise continue up to a maximum of 40 treatment sessions of HBO
