An arteriovenous malformation is a tangle of dysplastic vessels (nidus) fed by arteries and
drained by veins without intervening capillaries, forming a high-flow, low-resistance shunt …

Context Outcomes following treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with
microsurgery, embolization, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), or combinations vary greatly …

Radionecrosis is a well-characterized effect of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and is
occasionally associated with serious neurologic sequelae. Here, we investigated the …
