It is currently believed that exactly how long it takes to cure cavernous hemangioma in the midbrain by gamma knife treatment is uncertain, depending on the size of the hemangioma as well as the patient’s own condition.
Cavernous hemangioma is not a real tumor like cerebral arteriovenous malformation, it is a kind of congenital vascular lesion among cerebral vascular malformations, which lacks obvious arteries and draining veins for blood supply, but there are a large number of small blood vessels into the inside of the lesion, and the main clinical manifestations are epilepsy, hemorrhage, neurological symptoms, and headache, so the treatment of cerebral cavernous hemangioma is mainly to control epilepsy.
This type of gamma knife treatment is generally applicable to small lesions and lesions located deeper in or located in important functional areas and not suitable for surgical resection of the population, so there may be after gamma knife treatment, its surgical effect is not very good, at this time, it is considered that may need to be operated on again, the treatment time is likely to be prolonged.
In addition, if the patient’s physical condition is poor or there are some systemic diseases such as coagulation disorders, hypertension, etc., it is also possible to slow down the healing time. In short, there is no exact time for how long it will take to heal after treatment, and it needs to be analyzed by the attending physician according to the patient’s specific situation.
