Radiosurgery for Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
Neurol 63:367-369, Maarouf,M.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors evaluated the efficacy of radiosurgery (RS) for cerebral arteriovenous malformations in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT AVMs). Two patients with seven HHT AVMs were treated by linear accelerator-RS. Complete obliteration was achieved 18 to 24 months post-treatment without side effects. Because HHT AVMs are small and multiple, RS is superior to microsurgery because it is noninvasive and all AVMs can be treated in one session regardless of their location.
