- Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal blood vessel networks that can lead to severe health issues like hemorrhage, seizures, and headaches, and their treatment options include observation, microsurgery, radiosurgery, and embolization.
- Recent research indicates that Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), microsurgery, embolization, and IMRT have become effective methods for AVM treatment, with outcomes influenced by factors like the location, size, and patient characteristics.
- The study concludes that Stereotactic radiosurgery offers a promising prognosis for AVM patients, but larger AVMs may require a combined approach from multiple medical specialties for optimal treatment results.
