چکیده

This report presents a rare case of multiple, widely spaced arteriovenous malformations in a single patient treated with linear accelerator-based radiosurgery. The choices associated with the requisite imaging and planning are presented. In light of the anatomic topography, linear accelerator-based radiosurgery was chosen over gamma knife treatment, with CT angiography being used to image all target areas simultaneously.

Long term effects of Gamma knife Radiosurgery for treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations

 Abstract Background: The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKR) is an established management option for Cerebral Ar-teriovenous Malformations (AVMS). Therapeutic benefits of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations are complete obliteration of nidus with minimal neurological deficit. Methods: Radiosurgery was performed between February 2003 and April 2010 at Kamraniye day clinic, Teh-ran, Iran, us...

Current status of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations.

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM), regardless of the mode of discovery, have an annual risk of hemorrhage of approximately 4 percent. A progressive obliterative vasculitis culminating in the occlusion of an AVM may be induced by the administration of radiation doses of approximately 20 Gy given in a single fraction. The process takes about two years and occlusion occurs in approximatel...

The photon beam characteristics of linear accelerator equipped with additional narrow beam collimator

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using external beams of radiation has become an important method of treatment of small intracranial lesions such as arteriovenous malformations, benign or malignant primary tumours and isolated metastases. In this technique, a high dose of radiation is delivered to the stereotactically localized lesion, the adjacent normal brain tissue being minimaly irradiated.
