Official Title: Long-term Cognitive and Functional Impact of Proton-therapy or Modern Fractionated Radiotherapy in Cavernous Sinus Meningioma
Brief Summary:
Cavernous sinus meningiomas are close to optic nerve, pituitary gland, cranial nerve, and hippocampi.The doses delivered to these structures are crucial and radiotherapy of cavernous sinus meningiomas exposes patients to late secondary effects (pituitary deficit, nerve palsy, cognitive impairment…).In 2012, Gondi reported that a dose given to 40% of the bilateral hippocampi greater than 7.3 Gy is associated with long-term impairment in list-learning delayed recall after FSRT for benign or low-grade adult brain…
