Stereotactic radiosurgery in cases of acoustic neurinoma: further experiences.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The authors tested the hypothesis that among Grade II astrocytomas with a particularly long seizure history, a subgroup is hidden with a different prognosis and possibly histological characteristics. To do so, clinical and histological characteristics of two groups of World Health Organization Grade II astroc...
