Abstract

AIM: Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are pathological connections between arteries and veins without capillaries. Stereotactic radiosurgery (RS) is a proven and accepted treatment method for cerebral AVMs. Our objective was to analyze the factors influencing the clinical outcome in patients suffering from AVMs.
