Headache and Visual Aura Outcomes After Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Patients With Occipital Lobe Arteriovenous Malformations: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study
Patients with occipital lobe BAVMs frequently experience migraine-like headaches with visual aura, which may be more prevalent than in the general population. SRS for occipital lobe BAVMs could not only achieve favorable BAVM obliteration with minimal adverse effects but also significantly improve migraine-like symptoms, including visual aura, particularly in patients with smaller nidus volumes.
