Abstract

Intracranial carotid stenosis or occlusion after SRS is an extraordinarily rare event. Because of the rarity of this event, increased awareness within the neurosurgical community is required. For those with post-radiosurgical carotid stenosis who are asymptomatic, longitudinal follow up is recommended. Management depends on whether the patient is symptomatic or asymptomatic. Those who are symptomatic may require balloon angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery.
