Patients with intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are at increased risk of seizures.To identify MRI characteristics of unruptured intracranial AVMs associated with seizures at presentation.MATERIALS AND
Strict control of blood pressure (BP) has been recommended in patients after surgical resection of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) to prevent postoperative hyperemic complication. The aim of this study was to review the postoperative hemodynamic management in patients after surgical
While early rerupture of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may not be as rare as previously thought, its determinants and risk factors remain unknown. Impairment of the venous drainage of AVMs is a well known risk factor for rupture and has been linked with the development of perinidal
Gamma-Knife radiosurgery can be the treatment of choice for small cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in eloquent brain areas or, in association with endovascular treatment, for large and complex AVMs. Among the possible delayed complications occurring after radiosurgery of OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the image quality, treatment effectiveness and complications of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) treated with gamma knife by MR localization.
METHODS
According to Spetzler-Martin grading system, 73 intracranial AVMs were classified and treated with gamma knife by
OBJECTIVE
Surgical excision of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may be complicated by postoperative breakthrough edema and hemorrhage and by intracranial hypertension. Embolization, staged resection, and meticulous surgical technique have decreased but not completely eliminated this
Sixty patients with clinically unruptured intracranial arteriovenous malformations were studied with high-resolution computed tomography. In 33, local and distant mass effects were evidenced by compression, distortion, and displacement of normal anatomic structures by the malformation, its afferent
Onyx embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) has become increasingly common. We explored the risk of seizures after Onyx use.A retrospective review was conducted of 20 patients with supratentorial brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) who received Onyx embolization between 2006
OBJECTIVE
In order to establish the role of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) in large intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), we analyzed clinical characteristics, radiological features, and radiosurgical outcomes.
METHODS
Between March 1992 and March 2005, 28 of 33 patients with large AVMs
