At Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, we have developed the method of stereotactic heavy-charged-particle (helium-ion) Bragg peak radiosurgery for treatment of surgically-inaccessible intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). This report describes patient selection, treatment method, clinical and neuroradiologic results and complications encountered in 322 patients since 1980. 7 refs., 3 figs.
