Abstract

Gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS), a technique which involves delivery of a high dose of radiation to a precisely defined target, has become the predominant treatment option for brain metastases (BM) because of its high effectiveness and relatively minimal toxicity. Herein, we report a case of late-onset radiation-induced edema around an asymptomatic cyst, more than 20 years after salvage GKS, with 27 years of imaging follow-up, allowing the description of the evolutionary trajectory of these relatively rare complications. Our reported case also demonstrated the benign nature of delayed cyst formation (DCF), emphasizing that observation alone is reasonable for asymptomatic patients.
