چکیده

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, using the leksell gamma knife model b (elektra instruments ab, stockholm, sweden) on 82 consecu-tive patients with avms. the male-to-female ratio was 1.4:1(48m, 34f). the age of the patients ranged from 9 to 70 years (mean, 28.5±12 years). the marginal dose to the avm nidus was 45 to 85% (median, 60%) isodose and ranged from 14 to 30 gy (mean, 20.57±13gy).the maximum dose ranged between 20 to 60 gy (mean, 37.5 gy ± 10.17gy ). follow up of patients for complete avm obliteration and in the case of complications mri were performed. results: complete obliteration of avm was achieved in 56 cases (68.29%). it was marked in average 3.62 [sd=3.19] years (from 1 to 5 years) after gkr. partial obliteration (≥50% reduction of the nidus volume) was marked in 24 cases(31%), and less than 50% reduction of the nidus volume was marked in 2 cases(2.4%) with a follow-up of 5 years. complete obliteration of avm had statistically significant associations with smaller score of spetzler-martin arteriovenous malformation grading system for avms. (p< 0.05) conclusion: the gamma knife radiosurgery can offer total and partial obliteration to acceptable percent of treated avm with a low risk of morbidity. higher success observed in patients with spetzler-martin grade i and ii avms, which was attributed to smaller volume of avms in this group.

Long-term results of radiosurgery for cerebral arteriovenous malformations.

BACKGROUND Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is known to safely result in a high obliteration rate for small and medium sized arteriovenous malformations (AVM). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term outcome of patients treated with SRS, with special emphasis given to obliteration and toxicity rates. METHODS We performed a review of 43 cerebral AVM patients, treated from 1998 to 2008 with a sing...

Stereotaxic angiography in gamma knife radiosurgery of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.

Gamma knife radiosurgery is an effective alternative to embolization or microsurgical removal of small arteriovenous malformations, particularly in eloquent areas of brain tissue. Stereotaxic angiography is a useful diagnostic and targeting adjunct to gamma knife radiosurgery, and the authors present their experience (1,100 patients) with methods and technique, and show how the nidus of the art...

Embolization with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery of Giant Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations.

AIM Giant arteriovenous malformations (i.e., those greater than 6 cm maximum diameter or volume > 33 cc) are difficult to treat and often carry higher treatment morbidity and mortality rates. In our study, we reviewed the angiographic results and clinical outcomes for 11 patients with giant arteriovenous malformations who were treated between 1994 and 2012. MATERIAL AND METHODS The patients s...

Long-term side effects of radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations.

In this report, our experiences with 181 consecutive patients who underwent Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) during an approximately quarter century period from 1978 to 2002 will be summarized along with much of what we have learned from a wealth of already published data. During the mean post-GKRS follow-up period of 10.2 years (range, 5.4-30.6), 15 (8.3%)...

Hemorrhage risk of cerebral arteriovenous malformations before and during the latency period after GAMMA knife radiosurgery.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To evaluate the hemorrhage rates of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and the risk factors of hemorrhage before and after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS). METHODS The annual hemorrhage rate was calculated as the number of hemorrhages divided by the patient-years at risk. Characteristics of patients and AVM related to hemorrhagic or nonhemorrhagic presentation we...
