Abstract

In this study we report and analyze the results of a multimodality management concept for intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), including microsurgery, embolization, and gamma knife radiosurgery. The study population consists of a consecutive series of 294 patients treated for 304 intracranial AVMs over a 10-year period.
