Abstract
Introduction:
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a minimally invasive option commissioned in the treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). As long-term follow-up data became available, some late adverse effects have been reported, including SRS-induced neoplasia. However, the exact incidence of this adverse effect is unknown. In this article we present and discuss the topic with an unusual case of a young patient who was treated with SRS for AVM and developed a malignant brain tumor.
