Abstract
Stereotactic radiosurgery using the gamma unit was performed in 251 patients with brain vascular malformations in a 3-year interval. Our efforts include the identification of factors related to both success and complications, including analysis of the malformation location, volume, and dose used. Radiosurgery is a valuable alternative treatment for many patients with brain vascular malformations, including those currently believed to be poor surgical candidates.
