40 results Median observation is 9 months. So first we evaluated the possible acute complications of treatment. Minimal side effects were found during or within a few weeks after completion of treatment mainly in the form of erythema and tearing. In 1 patients with craniopharingioma was worsening of vision 2 month after treatment due to tumor aedema, tumor size reduction was determined in patients with other defined stabilization. Continued growth of the tumor during the observation was not observed. Conclusions perioptic tumors can be safely treated with single-fraction and hypofractionated SRS with excellent local control and a low rate of vision complications multi-centric data provide support for hypofractionated dose constraints for the optic structures as safe guidelines and suggests a less than 1% incidence of RION in group of patients treated with an optic apparatus pathway maximum point dose of 12Gy in 1, 19.5Gy in 3, and 25Gy in 5 fractions. 40
