Abstract:
The indications for stereotactic radiosurgery for patients with cavernous malformations of the brain are discussed. Specific reference is made to technique and dose selection and to the results and potential complications of this approach. Radiosurgery is an alternative to microsurgical resection for some patients with malformations in high-risk brain locations.
