• Stereotactic surgery:  By using computers three-dimensional image called stereotaxy is made. It finds out the correct location of the tumor. After this tumor is removed and radiation pellets is implanted.

• Embolization: This is performed before the brain surgery to block blood flow in the arteries. Otherwise it will cause implications after the surgery.
