Cerebral radiation necrosis complicating stereotactic radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformation.
A patient presented with symptoms and signs of raised intracranial pressure and increasing focal deficit 13 months after stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Computed Tomography (CT) showed a mass lesion at the site of the previous abnormality typical of radiation necrosis, but with features identical to those of a malignant neoplasm. Biopsy confirmed cer...
متن کاملGold Nanoparticles in Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations
Objective of the study: To explore the potential for therapeutic gain with gold nanoparticles in arteriovenous malformation radiosurgery based on their interaction with photons and protons. Study methods: Radiation dose enhancement resulting from the interaction of gold nanoparticles with irradiation ranging from kilovoltage to megavoltage photons and protons was researched in the literature. T...
متن کاملAngiographic complications during stereotactic radiosurgery for cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
During the past 20 years, stereotactic radiosurgery in the form of a multisource cobalt-60 gamma knife has been used to treat more than 1500 selected cases of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) worldwide (1-5). Precise three-dimensional localization of the target volume is required for computer planning and radiation dose determination (6). Although either computed tomography (CT) ...
متن کاملHighlights on Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation Treatment Using Combined Embolization and Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Why Outcomes are Controversial?
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal tangling between brain arteries and veins causing an arteriovenous shunt called nidus with an intervening network of vessels from the region of formation and spans through the brain. AVM effect is debilitating to the affected individual due to associated persistent intracerebral hemorrhage, resulting in significant occurrences of seizures...
متن کاملAcute subdural hemorrhage complicating embolization of a cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
We present a case of a young adult in whom acute subdural hemorrhage developed immediately after embolization of a cerebral arteriovenous malformation with glue. Inadvertent venous outlet obstruction with glue was implicated in the production of the hemorrhage. Possible mechanisms of spread of blood to the subdural space are discussed. Awareness of the possibility of iatrogenic subdural hemorrh...
