Objective The intracavitary irradiation of cystic tumors has been used as a therapeutic alternative modality in the management of cystic craniopharyngiomas. In the present study, we review our experience, considering the technical issues, outcomes, and complications associated with the use of stereotactic intracavitary irradiation (SICI) with collo...
