説明
Cerebellar arteriovenous malformation (C-AVM) is poorly tolerated because of its aggressive natural history. The aim of this study was to delineate long-term outcomes of Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKRS) for C-AVM.The outcomes of 45 patients who underwent GKRS for C-AVMs at our institution were retrospectively analyzed. Event-free survival was defined as free from any neurologic deficits caused by AVMs or adverse phenomena from the treatment.The median age and follow-up were 41 years (range, 6-77 years) and 120 months (range, 5-291 months), respectively. The median volume and Pollock-Flickinger radiosurgical AVM score were 1.3 cmGKRS is a reasonable intervention for C-AVMs. Symptomatic complications are rare, and the long-term outcomes are favorable.
