very urgent - avm treatment

[nishi35]

Hi,
i have been diagnosed with Left Fronto-Parietal Arterio-venous Malformation.
MRI Report: Large Artero-Venous malformation in Left Fronto Parietal Region with Gliosis and Focal Encephalomalacia
DSA report:  Giant AVM with feeds for left MCA, Left CA, Left PCA draining into superior sagittal sinus

Please help we what kind of treatment wil be suitable for my case? Gamma knife or embolization??? or any else..
Also for all of you who know a lot about embolization: tell me if the glue used in embolization is life long? can the avm come back in some cases???

Embolization is used a lot for AVMs and works more often than does Gamma knife. The glue is supposed to last, though there are cases where the AVM returns. As with all malformations, it's hard to fully correct. can take a look here for more info.. www. birthmark. org

I see that your question is urgent, and yet you have not gotten any answers -- possibly because your need is for technical info.  I doubt that very many lay people have any idea how to respond.  I know I don't.  You might try the expert forum, where possibly a doctor will answer you.  Good luck.
