Treatment of pediatric AVMs includes a combination of microsurgery, embolization and radiation therapies. However, the role of radiosurgery in the treatment of pediatric AVMs is not fully accepted because of concerns regarding the long-term effects of radiation on the pediatric brain. Discussion: In this study, we review our experience at the University of Toronto with treating pediatric AVMs using linear accelerator-based (LINAC) radiosurgery over the past 15years. We report our results, obliteration rates, and complications on a total of 40 patients. In addition, we provide a review of series published to date combined with our own results to determine whether radiosurgery is a safe and reasonable treatment modality for pediatric AVMs. Springer-Verlag, 2006 Pediatric arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) nationallicence Radiosurgery nationallicence Radiation therapy nationallicence Microsurgery nationallicence Brain vascular lesion nationallicence Obliteration rate nationallicence Zadeh Gelareh Division of Neurosurgery, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC), Suite A129, 2075 Bayview Avenue, M4N 3M5, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Andrade-Souza Yuri Division of Neurosurgery, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC), Suite A129, 2075 Bayview Avenue, M4N 3M5, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Tsao May Department of Radiation Oncology, Toronto-Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Scora Daryl Department of Radiation Oncology, Toronto-Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Armstrong Derek Department of Radiology, Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Humphreys Robin Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Rutka James Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Drake James Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Dirks Peter Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Schwartz Michael Division of Neurosurgery, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC), Suite A129, 2075 Bayview Avenue, M4N 3M5, Toronto, ON, Canada aut Child's Nervous System Springer-Verlag 23/2(2007-02-01), 195-199 0256-7040 23:2<195 2007 23 381 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00381-006-0207-3 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00381-006-0207-3 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Zadeh Gelareh Division of Neurosurgery, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC), Suite A129, 2075 Bayview Avenue, M4N 3M5, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Andrade-Souza Yuri Division of Neurosurgery, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC), Suite A129, 2075 Bayview Avenue, M4N 3M5, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Tsao May Department of Radiation Oncology, Toronto-Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Scora Daryl Department of Radiation Oncology, Toronto-Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Armstrong Derek Department of Radiology, Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Humphreys Robin Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Rutka James Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Drake James Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Dirks Peter Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, 555 University Ave., M5G1X8, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Schwartz Michael Division of Neurosurgery, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC), Suite A129, 2075 Bayview Avenue, M4N 3M5, Toronto, ON, Canada aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Child's Nervous System Springer-Verlag 23/2(2007-02-01), 195-199 0256-7040 23:2<195 2007 23 381 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
