Stereotactic radiotherapy plus radiosurgical boost in the treatment of large cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
Small sized AVMs respond well to stereotactic radiosurgery, while larger AVMs do poorly with stereotactic radiosurgery or stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy. A combination of both methods is proposed for the treatment of these larger lesions.
