The treatment of vascular malformation of the brain with laser source.
The first three cases of vascular malformations in humans (two artero-venous aneurysms and one saccular aneurysm) treated with the association of CO2 laser and Neodymium: Yag lasers, are presented here. The post-operative course has been very good. However, it is still necessary to examine a larger number of cases to see if, how, and when this treatment can be utilized in place of traditional methods.
