However, radiosurgery for cavernous malformations has always been controversial, because it is difficult to confirm postradiosurgical effects on cavernous malformation and hemorrhagic episodes, and because relatively frequent complications have been reported with this treatment. Both rebleeding and perifocal edema after radiosurgery can be hazardous for the patient. Kondziolka et al. [21] reported that the hemorrhage rate after radiosurgery was markedly decreased when compared with the natural history after the first hemorrhage.
