Gamma knife radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformations: general principles and preliminary results in a Swiss cohort.

CONCLUSION: Radiosurgery is a safe and effective treatment modality for intracranial AVMs in selected cases. It can be used as upfront therapy or in the frame of a combined management. Obliteration rates are high, with minimal morbidity. The treatment effect is progressive and subsequent and regular clinical and radiological follow-up is needed to evaluate this effect.
