Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers reported a case of a 16-year-old girl who developed severe steroid-resistant brain oedema eight months after gamma knife radiosurgery for a frontal arteriovenous malformation, and was then treated with HBOT.

What They Found

The patient presented with facial palsy, arm numbness, headache, and vomiting. After HBOT, neurological symptoms resolved completely. Follow-up imaging showed serious improvement in the brain oedema that had been resistant to steroids.
