Late clinical and radiological complications of stereotactical radiosurgery of arteriovenous malformations of the brain

摘要

Introduction Post-radiation injury of patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) include blood–brain barrier breakdown (BBBB), edema, and necrosis. Prevalence, clinical relevance, and response to treatment are poorly known. We present a series of consecutive brain AVM treated with stereotactic radiosurgery describing the appearance of radiation injury and clinical complications.
