Abstract
In the framework of α-disk models, we show that the accretion disk in NGC 4258 is self-gravitating at the distance where the masing regions are observed, whatever the accretion rate. This conclusion holds in the presence of the external irradiation. As a result, the maser region cannot involve the whole disk thickness as proposed by Neufeld & Maloney (1995).
