Repeat stereotactic radiosurgery for persistent cerebral arteriovenous malformations in pediatric patients

20244 citationsOpen accessAin Shams University

Abstract

The study results showed nidus obliteration in most pediatric patients who underwent repeat SRS for persistent AVMs. The risks of symptomatic RICs and latency period hemorrhage were quite low. These findings suggest that repeat radiosurgery should be considered when treating pediatric patients with residual AVM after prior SRS. Further study is needed to define the role of repeat SRS more fully in this population.
