Abstract
Six Japanese patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation were treated by radiosurgery at Karolinska Hospital. These patients were angiographically followed up for one to three years. In four cases, the lesions were disappeared angiographically and in two diminished in size. Radiosurgery could be evaluated as a promising technique for future neurosurgery, not only for cerebral arteriovenous malformations, but also for neoplastic lesions of rather small size.
