  • Lateral ventricle cyst

    It depends on your diagnosis, whether the lesion is growing or not, and whether there are any other available options. The CyberKnife is not intended to "perforate" the lesion, so if that is your intended goal of intervention you should talk to a surgeon about potential surgical options to drain or remove the cyst.

  • Pituitary Stalk Microadenoma

    There are two main concerns about any pituitary area lesion. 1) the proximity to your eye nerves (the optic chiasm), and 2) the cause of the ademona. By determining what type of adenoma it is (which can sometimes be diagnosed with blood tests only), you can determine what options you have to treat it, which may or may not include surgery. Regardless, you should have it addressed before it places any more compression on your chiasm and causes vision issues. READ MORE
