Abstract：Objective To analyze the therapeutic effects of gamma knife radiosurgery on cavernous sinus cavernous hemangiomas (CSCH).Methods The clinical data of 19 patients with CSCH treated by gamma knife radiosurgery in Tangdu Hospital of The Fourth Military Medical University from October,2005 to October,2014 were analyzed retrospectively.The maximum diameters of CSCH ranged from 22 to 65 mm (mean,41 mm) and the mean volume of CSCH was 25.5 cm3.The 50％ iso-dose curve was used to cover the periphery of CSCH and the average peripheral dose was 13 Gy.All the patients were followed up from 6 to 63 months (mean,40.2 months).Results No new neurological deficit was observed in all the patients after the gamma knife radiosurgery.The neuroimaging examination showed that the volume of CSCH decreased more than 50％ in 9 cases,25％ ～50％ in 3,less than 25％ in 2,and was unchanged in 5.The headache was improved in 6 cases (60％,6/10),the facial sensory disturbance in 5 (71.4％,5/7),visual power in 7 (63.6％,7/11),and diplopia in 8 (100％,8/8).Conclusion Gamma knife radiosurgery is a safe and effective method to treat CSCH.
