Benign Frontal Meningioma, Gamma Knife Surgery. Recommended?

Thanks for the query,
Benign frontal mengioma is a tumor, that grows at a extremely slow rate, and it does not metastasizes. In your case the size is not too large. This type of tumor produces only symptoms like vomiting , headache, seizures etc, But the symptoms will not increase in intensity.
Now, let me tell you about gamma knife surgery....
Gamma Knife surgery is a well established treatment for brain tumors, arteriovenous malformations.
The Gamma Knife offers a non-invasive alternative for many patients for whom traditional brain surgery is not an option.
Gamma Knife surgery removes the physical trauma and the majority of risks associated with conventional surgery.
This effective single session treatment may require an overnight hospital stay.
So these are some of the benefits of this surgery.
In your case it is the best treatment. I advise, to go for it.
Dont worry, reoccurance rate is very low in this case.
Hope this answer will help you. I will be ready for future followups.
Regards.
