[Eight cases of intracranial arteriovenous malformations treated by conventional radiation therapy].
We conducted radiotherapy in 8 cases of intracranial arteriovenous malformation that had difficult embolectomy and other surgery from 1983 to October, 1988. The results in 6 cases of dural arteriovenous malformation at the cavernous sinus were "marked effect" in 4 cases, "relapse" in 1 case, and "no effect" in 1 case. One case of dural arteriovenous malformation at the sigmoid venous sinus demonstrated only slight irradiation effect. No irradiation effect was observed in 1 case of cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
