Treating intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas with gamma knife radiosurgery: A single-center experience
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for the treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dural AVFs) over the past 10 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of 21 patients diagnosed with dural AVFs between 2004 and 2014 and treated with GKRS were reviewed retrospectively. Complete obliteration (CO) was defined as total symptom re...
