Kestle, John R. W. | Reduction of hemorrhage risk after stereotactic radiosurgery for cavernous malformations | The benefits of radiosurgery for cavernous malformations are difficult to assess because of the unclear natural history of this vascular lesion, the inability to image malformation vessels, and the lack of an imaging technique that defines "cure." The authors selected for radiosurgery 47 patients w... | Cavernous malformation; Gamma knife; Stereotactic radiosurgery | 1995 |
