Results of a third Gamma Knife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia.

CONCLUSIONS: A third GKRS is an effective treatment option for TN patients who have pain relapse after repeat GKRS. Pain outcomes of a third GKRS are similar to those following a first or second GKRS. Toxicity is tolerable in patients with a distally placed shot at the third GKRS.
