Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) could maintain visual acuity and stabilize tumor volume in ONSM patients, suggesting that IMRT and GKS may be effective therapies for ONSM. However, which treatment is the more effective modality must be confirmed by prospective studies and longer-term follow-up.
