abstract = {Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the management of
brainstem metastasis.An 81-year-old female with good
performance status (Karnofsky performance status $90\%)$ and
a history of metastatic small cell lung cancer to the brain,
lung, and pleura presents with a new single brainstem
metastasis, measuring 1.27 cm in its largest diameter with a
volume of 1.52 cm3 (Fig. 1). The tumor was initially staged
as cT4 cN3 cM1a, with lung and pleural metastases. She
received first-line chemotherapy with carboplatin and
etoposide, achieving a good response. Magnetic resonance
imaging six months after the last chemotherapy cycle
demonstrated three new brain metastases. She subsequently
underwent whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), receiving a total
dose of 35 Gy delivered in 14 fractions. All brain
metastases showed a complete response after the treatment.
Her current extracranial disease remains stable after
first-line chemotherapy. On physical examination, she has no
neurological deficits and denies experiencing new headaches,
nausea, or any other new complaints. She is not taking
steroids. The brainstem metastasis was diagnosed one year
after the completion of WBRT.},
