Abstract

Central nervous system Arterio-venous-malformations (AVM) are relatively rare developmental anom-alies in both paediatric and adult populations. It is although not very rare to treat these AVM’s with radiosur-gery. There has been multiple case series published in literature about the possible treatment options and role of Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Gamma Knife, Cyber knife, Linac based SRS and Proton beam radiosurgery are different options used for the delivery of SRS. We intend to present a case of cerebral AVM in an adult pa-tient, successfully treated with Linac based SRS using simplified setup techniques and advanced planning sys-tem.
