Stereotactic Radiosurgery- Case 2

This is a 29-year-old man who presented with a sudden severe headache. The CT demonstrated an intraventricular hemorrhage. Brain MRI showed a deep right parietal AVM (arterio-venous malformation) adjacent to the right lateral ventricle.

The patient underwent single treatment in the Gamma Knife® (7/12/02), at which time the AVM was targeted with CT, MR, and cerebral angiography. Currently the patient is neurologically intact. He has had no complications from his treatment and has had no further bleeding from the AVM.

His latest MRI shows the AVM has been obliterated.
