Angioarchitecture and clinical presentation of brain arteriovenous malformations.
The purpose of this study was to correlate the angioarchitecture of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) with their clinical presentation. A total of 170 patients with AVM 78 males and 92 females, were studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted in order to test the associations between morphological features and clinical presentation. The most frequent clinical presentation...
متن کاملMorphometric characterization of brain arteriovenous malformations for clinical and radiological studies to identify silent intralesional microhemorrhages
Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) are vascular lesions that can cause significant morbidity and mortality, particularly when they bleed, i.e., rupture. Determining the risk of rupture for bAVMs is a crucial task to determine the most appropriate approach to patients with bAVM. Furthermore, patients who present with a hemorrhagic event also have a higher risk of subsequent hemorrhage. De...
متن کاملEmbolization of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
Cure: Because We Could and Because We Should We read with great interest the commentary by Jayaraman and Cloft about the necessity for curative embolization of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and we feel obliged to present our objections to their views. It is absolutely true that for any treatment to be justified, it needs to have high success and low complication rates. Because embol...
متن کاملArteriovenous Malformations of the Brain.
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 51-year-old woman presents with a generalized tonic–clonic seizure. After a brief postictal period, she recovers fully and does not report headache or other neurologic symptoms. She takes no medications and her medical history is unremarkable. Computed tomography of the head suggests a right occipital arteriovenous malformation, without evidence...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) represent a high risk of intracranial hemorrhages, which are substantial causes of morbidity and mortality of bAVMs, especially in children and young adults. Although a variety of factors leading to hemorrhages of bAVMs are investigated extensively, their pathogenesis is still not well elucidated. The author has reviewed the updated data of genetic aspe...
