Conclusions: Jaw immobilization appears to be a quick, minimally...

... in arteriovenous malformation (AVM) management, MEG-generated maps of critical regions have never been utilized to improve dose planning. Purpose: To assess the value of integrating functional brain mapping using MEG with dose planning during treatment of brain AVMs with SRS. Methods: This case series encompassed...

...W.Y. Guo; S.M. Lee; Y.C. Chang; H.C. Pan The therapeutic aims of brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) radiosurgery are multiple. Protecting patients from rebleeding is the prime goal. Among the others, hemodynamics, perfusion and neurocognition recovery are interesting and important. Anatomically...

...Stephan Eisenschenk; RobinL. Gilmore; WilliamA. Friedman; RuthA. Henchey Reduction of seizures associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) following radiosurgery has been reported. This investigation assessed the effect of LINAC radiosurgical treatment of AVMs on the associated epilepsies...

...M. Yamamoto; M. Ide; M. Jimbo; M. Hamazaki; S. Ban Although many series of patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) treated radiosurgically have been published, there has been little information on cysts appearing several years after irradiation. Herein, we discuss the incidence...

.... A correction method has been developed to enable the use of DSA for the radiosurgery of arteriovenous malformations. A software program and a special phantom tool were employed. The phantom is made by a computer-controlled drilling machine which makes holes in a Plexiglas plate. It has 865 calibration steel...

...K. Ericson; M. Söderman; E. Maurincomme; C. Lindquist Recently developed software for correction of the geometric distortion in digital subtraction angiography was tested clinically. Localization and subsequent radiosurgical treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations was undertaken in 60...

...W.Y. Guo; H.C. Pan; W.Y. Chung; L.W. Wang; M.M.H. Teng Sixteen cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) were examined to determine the role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in verifying obliteration. The AVMs (mean volume 7.5 cm 3 , range 2–17 cm 3 ) were treated with Gamma Knife surgery...

...K.A. Leber; R. Aigner; R. Nicoletti; G.F. Fueger; G. Pencil The radiobiologic changes induced by cobalt-60 gamma irradiation in cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a torpid process. Complete obliteration may take 1 or 2 years or even longer. Neuroradiological modalities like magnetic...

...B. Karlsson; I. Lax; M. Söderman; L. Kihlström; C. Lindquist Two models for predicting the results of Gamma Knife surgery for brain stem and other centrally located arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are presented. By using these models, the probability of total obliteration and the risk...

...T. Tanaka; T. Kobayashi; Y. Kida; H. Oyama; M. Niwa More than 290 cases of cerebral arteriovenous malformation have been treated at our hospital by Gamma Knife radiosurgery since May 1991, of which 99 were followed with angiography for 1 year or more. The results from adult and pediatric age groups...

... for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The period between angiographic confirmation of nidus obliteration and the most recent examinations was 12–84 months (mean 29 months). The patients ranged in age from 9 to 54 years (mean 22 years). There were 6 females and 3 males. In 8 patients, the obliterated...

... treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is exclusively based on two orthogonal stereotactic projections, obtained with angiographic procedures. Most commonly AVM volumes have been calculated by assimilating the nidus volume to a prolate ellipsoid. We present an algorithm dedicated to 3D volume...
