Intracranial meningiomas are slow growing tumours that traditionally have been treated by surgical excision. Recent studies have suggested that they are radiosensitive. Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy is one of the newer treatments that neurosurgeons have been using against meningiomas at the base of the skull. Behbehani and coworkers report the results of 13 patients treated with this therapy for parasellar meningiomas. The preliminary findings suggest that it is safe and effective.

Some patients with ocular inflammatory disease will develop choroidal neovascularisation. The standard approach in these patients has been the use of systemic immunosuppression. Regrettably, this is not always successful. Leslie and coworkers report the results of six patients with inflammatory choroidal neovascularisation who failed to respond to systemic immunosuppression and later underwent PDT therapy. In this study PDT appeared to a useful option in the management of these patients.
