Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a well-known modality for the treatment of malignant brain tumors. SRS, however, can also be used to treat non-malignant functional disorders such as epilepsy, tremor, trigeminal neuralgia (TN), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and intractable pain among others. Given the limited prospective data guiding treatment of these benign disorders, this article serves as a consolidated discussion of the application of SRS for functional ailments, hopefully serving as a reference for those considering application of this technique in clinical practice.
