OBJECTIVE: Stereotactic radiosurgery has been used for patients with high-risk cavernous
malformations of the brain. We performed radiosurgery for patients with symptomatic,
imaging-confirmed hemorrhages for which resection was believed to be associated with
high risk. This study examines the long-term hemorrhage rate after radiosurgery. METHODS:
We reviewed data obtained before and after gamma knife radiosurgery on 82 patients
treated between 1987 and 2000. Most patients had multiple hemorrhages from brainstem or …
