Radiosurgery reduces surgical morbidity but does improve final outcome. Schematic demonstrating the time course for neurological assessments using the modified Rankin Scale (A). RS+ patients had a significant worsening in neurological function between the time of diagnosis and time of resection (diagnosis to pre-resection, * P< 0.05), whereas RS− patients had a significant worsening in mRS associated with BAVM resection (pre-resection to 6 months, ** P< 0.01) (B). Outcomes at 6 months and last follow-up did not differ between the two groups (C). Hospital stay after BAVM resection was lower in RS+ patients compared to RS− patients (D).
