Patient and treatment variables were prospectively maintained in a computer database. Outcomes were tracked through periodic clinical examinations and annual scanning studies. Multivariate and actuarial statistics were used to analyze rates of local tumor control and complications, including facial and trigeminal neuropathies, after treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>One- and 2-year actuarial control rates were both 98%, and the 5-year actuarial control rate was 90%. Only four patients (1%) required surgery for tumor growth. Seventeen patients (4.4%) reported facial weakness and 14 patients (3.6%) reported facial numbness after radiosurgery. The risk of these complications rose with increasing tumor volume or increasing radiosurgical dose to the tumor periphery. Since 1994, when doses were deliberately lowered to 1250 cGy, only two patients (0.7%) have experienced facial weakness and two (0.7%) have experienced facial numbness.<\/jats:p>\n
