摘要

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has evolved to be a pivotal tool in neurosurgery, particularly valuable in treating tumors located in deep and intricate regions of the brain, such as the skull base and areas with critical neurovascular structures. Initially, the use of SRS was met with considerable skepticism due to concerns over long-term radiation side effects and its tolerability, especially in children. However, as technology and understanding of radiation effects have progressed, SRS has gained acceptance as a safer, precise, and effective treatment option for brain and skull base tumors [1].
