Abstract

Stereotactic radiosurgery is an effective and widely used surgical procedure for the management of cerebral vascular malformations. Long-term analysis of results has led to an evolution in technique and patient selection, a better understanding of the safe and effective dose reponse, and of the risks to surrounding normal tissue. Radiosurgery is a minimally invasive technique but is not risk-free. Successful AVM obliteration depends on proper stereotactic nidus definition and delivery of an adequate radiosurgery dose.
