Description
Ruja Vichitvejpaisal and ten co-authors review radiation treatment for a rare spine condition in a 2026 clinical paper. The condition is a tangle of blood vessels inside the spinal cord, called a spinal intramedullary arteriovenous malformation. Such tangles can bleed, with a yearly risk the authors put at up to 4 to 10 percent. The team looked back at cases treated at Hokkaido University Hospital.
They studied 21 patients treated with fractionated radiation therapy. Most got a dose of 20 Gy split into four parts. Over a median follow-up of about 56 months, two tangles closed fully and eight shrank in part. No bleeding and no late harm from radiation were seen. The authors say the dose was safe and may cut bleeding risk.
