intracranial arteriovenous malformations/vomiting

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are considered to be congenital disorders. However, their familial occurrence has so far been described in only 19 families in the literature. The authors report on two cases in one family and review the literature. A 45-year-old female subject with sudden

This paper analyzes the available literature on intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in Taiwan. The incidence and symptoms of the disease are studied with a view to assisting practitioners in its recognition. The incidence of intracranial AVM in patients who have suffered hemorrhagic

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are the most dangerous congenital vascular malformations. Intracranial AVMs occur in about 0.1 percent of the population and account for 1 to 2 percent of all strokes. The angioarchitecture of AVMs consists of direct arterial to venous connections without an

A case of spontaneous disappearance of a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is reported. A 59-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed as having a huge AVM in the left occipital lobe 6 years before and who was monitored without treatment, complained of a sudden headache and vomiting. Computed

Subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to ruptured intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) during pregnancy, although rare, is a grave complication. We experienced 3 patients with AVM for cesarean section. Case 1: A 24-year-old woman suffered sudden vomiting and headache during the 22nd week of her

BACKGROUND and purposes. The purpose of this study was to identify the specific characteristics of headaches associated with cerebral arteriovenous malformations in order to differentiate them from other known entities of headaches such as migraine, cluster headache, and trigeminal neuralgia. This

An 11-year-old child presented with chronic occipital headache and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a cystic mass lesion in the right occipital region. Magnetic resonance imaging brain revealed a cystic mass lesion which was hypointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on

The authors report a case of spontaneous occlusion of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) verified by the second angiography performed 3 days after the initial one. This 65-year-old man had a sudden attack of headache, nausea, and vomiting and was admitted to our hospital next day. On admission, CT

OBJECTIVE Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are generally thought to have a congenital cause. This is the first report of an angiographically proven de novo cerebral AVM in an adult patient without previous vascular abnormality. METHODS A 26-year-old African-American woman developed multiple

OBJECTIVE Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) during pregnancy is a rare event, and about half the cases are due to arteriovenous malformations (AVM). The authors describe the anesthetic approach of a 39 week pregnant patient scheduled for cesarean section, with a history of SAH due to AVM at 22 week

OBJECTIVE Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) during pregnancy is a rare event, and about half the cases are due to arteriovenous malformations (AVM). The authors describe the anesthetic approach of a 39 week pregnant patient scheduled for cesarean section, with a history of SAH due to AVM at 22 week

The rupture of a brain cranial arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) has been associated with pregnancy; however, due to scarcity of data about this rare condition, management still remains a dilemma both for obstetricians and neurophysicians. The management plan is decided after weighing the benefits
