Abstract
Interventional treatment by neuroradiological embolisation of cerebral arteriovenous angiomas has become an alternative to surgical exstirpa tion especially in problematic localisations and large-size malformati ons. Clinical results showing a marked reduction in attacks and recurr ent haemorrhages, evident from a three-year report on 17 patients, con firm the value of the method even in case of only subtotal occlusion o f the malformation.
