Abstract

Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) Cerebral AVMs International Study Of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (ISUIA) Stereotactic Radiosurgery Surgical Extirpation
The authors discuss the different treatments available for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and discuss the various studies that may have changed their approach toward AVM management. It is well understood that the main treatment modalities include endovascular embolization, surgical extirpation, and stereotactic radiosurgery. The more likely scenario is using a combination of the above modalities to treat the lesion. Another management option is not to intervene but rather take a conservative approach which entails following the patient radiographically and clinically.
