The incidence of unexpected pathological findings in an image-guided biopsy series

Neurosurgery (1989)

William A. Friedman D J Sceats Blake R. Nestok William E. Ballinger

Despite the widespread availability of image-guided stereotactic biopsy, the need for such procedures in patients with "clear-cut" clinical and radiographic diagnoses is still frequently discussed. In an attempt to ascertain the incidence of unexpected pathological findings, 100 consecutive stereotactic biopsies have been reviewed. Twelve patients were found to have diagnoses of pathological conditions that preoperatively were considered unlikely, or not considered at all. The details of these "diagnostically discordant" cases are discussed.

CyberKnife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia: unanticipated iatrogenic effect following successful treatment

Journal of neurosurgery (2011)

Anuj V. Peddada D J Sceats Gerald A. White Gyongyver Bulz Greg Gibbs

This case report of 74-year-old man with trigeminal neuralgia is presented to underscore the importance of evaluating the entire treatment plan, especially when delivering large doses where even a low percentage of the prescription dose can contribute a substantial dose to an unintended target. The patient was treated using the CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery system utilizing a nonisocentric beam treatment plan with a 5-mm fixed collimator generating 111 beams to deliver 6000 cGy to the 79% isodose line with a maximum dose of 7594 cGy to the target. Two weeks after treatment the patient's trigeminal neuralgia symptoms resolved; however, the patient developed oral mucositis due to the treatment. This case report reviews the cause of mucositis and makes recommendations on how to prevent unintended targets from receiving treatment.
