BACKGROUND: An intracranial lesion of intravascular @entity1377 (IPEH) is extremely rare and often difficult to resect completely. We describe a case in which a lesion at the superior orbital fissure was successfully treated by postoperative radiosurgery. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 41-year-old @entity1 presented with progressive @entity2896 and @entity132 over a 1-year period. Radiological examination demonstrated a left middle fossa @entity5 involved in the cavernous sinus. About a half @entity5 was performed. The pathological diagnosis was IPEH. The @entity41 was treated with gamma knife radiosurgery. CONCLUSION: Gamma knife radiosurgery was effective to reduce the @entity41 in the present case. During a follow-up period of 2 years, the lesion has not recurred. This report suggests that additional gamma knife radiosurgery after incomplete resection of the lesion could be an alternative therapeutic modality.
