Prognostic factors in the persistence of posttraumatic epilepsy after penetrating head injuries sustained in war.

abstract：OBJECT:Cushing's disease is a challenging neuroendocrine disorder. Although resection remains the primary treatment option for most patients, the disease persists if there is residual or recurrent tumor. Stereotactic radiosurgery has been used to treat patients with persistent Cushing's disease after a prior resection....
