La radiocirugía estereotáctica constituye sin lugar a dudas un tratamiento de primer orden en una gran variedad de procesos intracraneales, especialmente de naturaleza tumoral, y no está exenta de complicaciones. Actualmente se considera un buen tratamiento para una gran mayoría de schwannomas del nervio vestibular de pequeño y mediano tamaño. Los autores describimos el caso clínico de una mujer de 69años que desarrolló un glioma de alto grado secundariamente al tratamiento radioquirúrgico de un schwannoma del nervio vestibular. Describimos las características de nuestro caso y realizamos una revisión de la literatura.
Stereotactic radiosurgery undoubtedly represents an important therapeutic procedure for various intracranial pathologies, especially tumours, although they are not entirely complication-free. Radiosurgery have been considered a good management strategy for the majority of small-to-medium size vestibular schwannomas. The authors describe a case of high-grade glioma associated with a previous radiosurgery treatment for a vestibular schwannoma in a 69year-old woman. A detailed description of these cases is provided, as well as a summary of the related literature.
