BACKGROUND
The association of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with aneurysm(s) is hazardous, and various forms of treatment have been suggested. Most authors agree that surgery for these combined lesions should be directed toward the symptomatic lesion first. This may be difficult,
BACKGROUND
Stereotactic radiosurgery is an alternative to resection of intracranial cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), while it will fail in some cases. This study aimed to evaluate the changes after stereotactic radiosurgery for AVMs.
METHODS
Nineteen cases with cerebral AVMs had failure
BACKGROUND
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon vascular lesions, and hemorrhage secondary to AVM rupture results in significant morbidity and mortality. AVMs may be treated by endovascular embolization, and technical advances in microcatheter design are likely to improve the
Two independent intracranial arteriovenous malformations occurring to a single patient is rarely seen. A 23-year-old female suffered from a sudden onset weakness of the left side extremities and a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. A cranial CT revealed an intracranial hemorrhage in the right
OBJECTIVE
To study the treatment strategies and operative principles of complex cerebral arteriovenous malformation (CAVM).
METHODS
Total 27 cases of complex CAVM were microsurgically resected from June 2004 to May 2011. These account for 67.5% of CAVMs in the same time. Of the CAVM, 25 were
OBJECTIVE
Little information is available about radiation-induced complications occurring more than 5 years after radiosurgical treatment for arteriovenous malformations.
METHODS
We present a patient with arteriovenous malformations who experienced hemimotor weakness caused by a diffuse white matter
Embolization of cerebral arterio-venous malformations (A.V.M.s) is nowadays recognized as belonging to the therapeutic panel applied to these lesions. After an hemorrhagic accident, embolization is most often performed several weeks later. We report three cases of intracerebral hematoma due to
Results of embolization and subsequent surgical resection were reviewed in 38 patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain during the past 3 years. Advanced techniques were used for embolization, including real-time digital subtraction angiofluoroscopy; directable microcatheters;
We present 26 consecutive cases of nongalenic pial arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) diagnosed in the neonatal period or in infancy. No diagnosis was made antenatally. Presenting symptoms in neonates were systemic cardiac manifestations (54%), seizures (31%), and hemorrhages (15%). In infants,
The authors applied PET activation study to two patients with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) to localize primary motor cortex before surgery or embolization. The change in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured during foot movements in Case 1 who had a 2-cm AVM located in the
We present a rare autopsy case of von Recklinghausen's disease with Moyamoya vessels and arteriovenous malformation. A 58-year-old female patient suffered from dysarthria and dysphagia. On examination, Parkinson's signs, pseudobulbar palsy, and muscular weakness of the left extremity and pyramidal
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations are a common cause of pediatric intracranial hemorrhage. Often, small, superficial, lesions are treated surgically; however, more complex, deeper, eloquently located lesions portend higher-risk features and suffer from limitations in treatment. We BACKGROUND
Thrombosis of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas following hemorrhage rarely have been reported. Rarer still is thrombosis of spinal AVMs following hemorrhage.
METHODS
A 6-year-old boy presented with sudden low back and sciatic pain,
Excision of human cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can be complicated by postoperative edema and hemorrhage in adjacent brain tissue, despite the complete excision of the malformation. Various theories have purported to explain the hemodynamic basis for this predisposition, including
Thirteen patients with intracranial lesions were submitted to a twist drill needle biopsy under computerized tomographic (CT) control, with sedation and local anesthesia. (The patients' ages ranged from 12 to 81 years.) The final diagnoses were glioblastoma in 7 patients and 1 case each of
