Hello, I have MS but have been symptom free for many years. I just found out that I have 2 meningiomas that the doctor wants to treat with gamma knife soon. I have double vision, from one of the tumors. I am so scared because I’ve read that any radiation even gamma knife can cause demyelination of the brain and cause a resurgence of sometimes severe MS symptoms. Has anyone else had gamma knife with a diagnosis of MS too. Thank you.

Hello @vermont10 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can understand your concern around a resurgence of your MS. You will notice that I have moved your post into a discussion on Gamma Knife for Meningioma as a way to see if there are other members who may have had a similar concern going into their treatment.

What are your doctors telling you in terms of what you may expect given your MS?
