Abstract

Purpose: To establish the role of stereoactic radiosurgery using a linear accelerator for the treatment of patients with cavernous angloma. Materials and Methods: Between February 1995 and May 1997, 11 patients with cavernous angioma were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery using a linear accelerator. Diagnoses were based on the magnetic resonance imaging in 8 patients, and the histological in 3. The vascular lesions were located on the brainstem (5 cases), cerebellum (2 cases) thalamus (1 case) and cerebrum (3 cases). The clinical presentation at onset included previous intracerebral hemorrhages (9 cases) and seizures (2 cases). All patients were treated with a a linac-based radiosurgery. The median dose of radiation delivered was 16 Gy ranging from 14 to 24 Gy, which was typically proscribed to the 80$\%$ isodose surface (range 50 $\~$ 80$\%$), corresponding to the periphery of the lesion with a single isocenter. Ten patients were followed-up. Results: The median follow-up was 49 months ranging from 8 to 73 months, during which time two patients developed an intracerebral hemorrhage, 1 at 8 months, with the other at 64 months post radiosurgery. One patient developed neurological deficit after radiosurgery, and two developed an edema on the T2 weighted images of the MRI surrounding the radiosurgical target. Conclusion: The use of stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of a cavernous angioma may be effective in the prevention of rebleedlng, and can be safely delivered. However, a longer follow-up period will be required.

목적: 혈관조영상 잠재혈관기형 중 하나인 해면상혈관종의 치료에 있어 선형가속기를 이용한 정위방사선수술의 역할을 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 2월부터 1997년 5월까지 서울대학교병원에서 해면상혈관종으로 11명이 방사선수술을 받았다. 진단은 자기공명영상을 바탕으로 내려진 것이 8예였으며 3예에서는 조직학적으로 진단이 되었다. 병변의 위치는 대뇌부 3예, 시상부 1예, 뇌간 5예, 소뇌 2예였으며 진단 당시의 임상증상은 뇌내출혈로 인한 신경학적 결손을 보인 환자가 9예였으며 2예에서는 경련을 나타내었다 선형가속기를 이용한 정위방사선수술의 선량의 중앙값은 회전중심점 선량의 80$\%$를 기준으로 16 Gy (범위: 14$\~$24 Gy)였다. 11명의 환자 중 10예에서 추적관찰이 가능하였다. 결과: 49개월의 중앙추적관찰기간 동안(범위: 8$\~$73개월) 2예의 재출혈이 발생하였다. 1예는 정위방사선수술 시행 8개월 후에 재출혈이 일어났으며 1예는 정위방사선수술 64개월 이후에 재출혈이 발생하였다. 정위방사선수술 후에 1예는 출혈의 증거 없이 신경학적으로 악화되었고 2예는 임상증상을 동반하지 않은 채 T2 강조 자기공명영상에서 높은 신호강도가 나타났다. 결론: 해면상혈관종에 대한 정위방사선수술은 재출혈 방지에 효과가 있는 것으로 생각되며 그 부작용 또한 크지 않았으나 재출혈에 대해서는 충분한 기간 추적관찰을 하여야 할 것으로 생각한다.
