Minimally invasive treatment strategy combining a partial resection with cyst aspiration and subsequent Gamma Knife radiosurgery for cystic hypoglossal neurinoma in an older adult: illustrative case

Minimally invasive management should be considered for older adults with comorbidities who are at increased risk for postoperative complications. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25821.
