Computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of arteriovenous malformations [PDF]
Introduction: The most common cause of intracranial bleeding in younger patients and children are vascular anomalies. Digital subtractions angiography presents a gold standard in diagnostics of aneurisms and vascular malformations.

Diagnosis and evaluation of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
Ideal management of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains poorly defined. Decisions regarding management of AVMs are based on the expected natural history of the lesion and risk prediction for peritreatment morbidity. Microsurgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery, and endovascular embolization alone or in combination are all ...

Evaluation of surgical treatment for intracranial arteriovenous malformations
The main purpose of the treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is complete obliteration of the nidus to prevent primary or recurrent intracranial hemorrhage and protect neurological functions maximally.

Complete regression of intracranial arteriovenous malformations
Spontaneous and complete regression of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a rare occurrence, with only 59 angiographically proven cases reported in the English literature. We present three new cases and perform a literature review to determine possible mechanisms underlying this unusual phenomenon.Three patients with angiographically ...

Management of Pediatric Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations. [PDF]
Pediatric intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are challenging lesions managed by pediatric neurosurgeons. The high risk of hemorrhage and neurologic injury is compounded by the unique anatomy of each malformation that requires individualizing

Unruptured arteriovenous malformations of the brain [PDF]
Unruptured, asymptomatic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) lurk in the brains of approximately one person in every thousand; their prevalence, based on four studies of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 7,359 people without brain disorders, 1-4 was 0.1

Predictors of angiographic occlusion after embolization of intracranial arteriovenous malformations with curative intent. [PDF]
BackgroundEndovascular embolization is a potential alternative to open surgery for treating intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). To our knowledge, predictors of occlusion after curative embolization of AVMs remain limited in literature.
