Gamma Knife radiosurgery (RS) may be an alternative to open surgery for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), but morbidities and the anticonvulsant mechanisms of RS are unclear. Examination of visual field defects (VFD) after RS may provide evidence of the extent of a postoperative fixed lesion. VFD occur in 52-100% of patients following open surgery for MTLE. This multicenter prospective trial of RS enrolled patients with unilateral hippocampal sclerosis and concordant video-EEG findings. Patients were randomized to low (20Gy) or high (24Gy) doses delivered to the amygdala, hippocampal head, and parahippocampal gyrus. Postoperative perimetry were obtained at 24 months after RS. Visual field defect ratios (VFDR) were calculated to quantify the degree of VFD. Results were contrasted with age, RS dose and 50% isodose volume, peak volume of radiation-induced change at the surgical target, quality of life measurements, and seizure remission. No patients reported visual changes and no patients had abnormal bedside visual field examinations. 15 of 24 patients (62.5%) had postoperative VFD, all homonymous superior quadrantanopsias. None of the VFDs were consistent with injury to the optic nerve, chiasm or tract. Clinical diagnosis of VFD correlated significantly with VFDR (p=0.0005). Patients with seizure remission had smaller (more severe) VFDR (p=0.04). No other variables had significant correlations. VFD appeared after RS in proportions similar to historical comparisons from open surgery for MTLE. The nature of VFD was consistent with lesions of the optic radiations. The findings support the hypothesis that the mechanism of RS involves some degree of tissue damage and is not confined entirely to functional changes in neuromodulation.
