Summary

Stereotactic radiosurgery is a well established treatment option for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The potential complications related to radiosurgery are well documented and are predominately related to radiation effects to the surrounding brain parenchyma. These risks increase with larger lesions, requiring a concommitant reduction in the amount of radiation that can be delivered. This reduction in radiation dose decreases the efficacy of treatment. The broad, long-term objectives of this proposal are 1) to determine the role of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of large (>10cc) AVMs; 2) to evaluate the complication rates related to fractionating these doses compared to conventional stereotactic treatment 3) to evaluate the success rate of treating large AVMs with this protocol.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • All patients age 18 or older
  • Inpatients and outpatients, referred for radiosurgical treatment of an arteriovenous malformation
  • Patients with lesions greater than 10 cc, who are currently symptomatic from the AVM (hemorrhage, seizure, or ischemia from steal phenomenon)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients without symptoms related to AVM
