AVM and Neurosurgery

CyberKnife® radiosurgery is a relatively new option for AVM patients, including those with spinal AVM, as it uses a large number of high precision radiation beams which can be moulded to the shape of the AVM.

Apart from cancers of the brain and spine, high precision CyberKnife radiosurgery offers pain-free and non-invasive treatment for conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia (tic doloreux) and acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma).

AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation)

Neurosurgery

Please visit the CyberKnife page for more details, as much of the information there applies equally to AVMs and neurosurgery.

Specialist treatments < AVM and Neurosurgery

Although these are not cancer conditions, the information relating to cancer treatments applies equally here, and in particular the ability to target tumours or AVMs with precision, even in difficult and inoperable locations or wrapped around nerves or blood vessels.

Because of their sensitive locations and/or complex shapes AVMs (also known as arteriovascular malformations) can be too difficult and dangerous to operate upon, leaving some patients with little more than palliative care, partial paralysis and the danger of bleeds and complications at any time.

CyberKnife can be applied in even fine and inaccessible areas where a surgeon would not be able to operate safely.
