Linear accelerator-based radiosurgery for multiple arteriovenous malformations: case report.
This report presents a rare case of multiple, widely spaced arteriovenous malformations in a single patient treated with linear accelerator-based radiosurgery. The choices associated with the requisite imaging and planning are presented. In light of the anatomic topography, linear accelerator-based radiosurgery was chosen over gamma knife treatment, with CT angiography being used to image all target areas simultaneously.
