The authors report 2 cases of delayed cyst formation after gamma knife radiosurgery for 3 meningioma lesions. All 3 lesions reported here had a distinctive feature before gamma knife treatment of small and spotty intratumoral cysts. One patient experienced an intriguing clinical course of spontaneous regression of the enlarged cyst, and 2 of the 3 lesions became symptomatic requiring surgical interventions. Cyst formation as a postradiosurgical complication is relatively rare in meningioma patients in the literature, and its pathogenesis is unclear. We describe herein the clinical courses of these 2 patients and review the relevant literature in this report. From our experience of these 2 cases, we suggest that we should be aware of the possible development of spotty intratumoral cysts into larger cysts after stereotactic radiosurgery and that we should carefully observe such patients after the treatment.

D008579 Meningioma A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL.

D016634 Radiosurgery A radiological stereotactic technique developed for cutting or destroying tissue by high doses of radiation in place of surgical incisions. It was originally developed for neurosurgery on structures in the brain and its use gradually spread to radiation surgery on extracranial structures as well. The usual rigid needles or probes of stereotactic surgery are replaced with beams of ionizing radiation directed toward a target so as to achieve local tissue destruction.
