Cavernous malformations of the brainstem.
In 1966, McCormick categorized nonneoplastic vascular malformations of the central nervous system into four types: arteriovenous malformations, venous angiomas, capillary telangiectasias, and cavernous malformations (CM).23 In the 4 decades since this original classification, significant work has been done to characterize the epidemiology, pathogenesis, natural history, proper management, and p...
متن کاملPetrosal approaches to brainstem cavernous malformations.
OBJECT Although they provide excellent ventral and lateral exposure of the brainstem, petrosal approaches to brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs) are infrequently reported. METHODS The authors reviewed their experience with petrosal approaches to brainstem CMs in combination with a comprehensive review of the literature to elucidate resection rates, complication rates, and outcomes. RESU...
متن کاملBrainstem cavernous malformations: a review with two case reports.
Central nervous system (CNS) cavernous malformations (CMs) are developmental malformations of the vascular bed with a highly variable clinical course due to their dynamic nature. We present one case of 'de novo' brainstem cavernous malformation after radiation therapy adding to the increasing number of reported cases in the medical literature, and the case of a pregnant patient with symptomatic...
متن کاملSurgical Approaches for Symptomatic Cerebral Cavernous Malformations of the Thalamus and Brainstem
OBJECTIVE Surgical resection of thalamic and brainstem cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) is associated with significant operative morbidity, but it may be outweighed, in some cases, by the neurological damage from recurrent hemorrhage in these eloquent areas. The goals of this retrospective cohort study are to describe the technical nuances of surgical approaches and determine the postope...
متن کاملEndoscopic approaches to brainstem cavernous malformations: Case series and review of the literature
BACKGROUND Symptomatic cavernous malformations involving the brainstem are frequently difficult to access via traditional methods. Conventional skull-base approaches require significant brain retraction or bone removal to provide an adequate operative corridor. While there has been a trend toward limited employment of the most invasive surgical approaches, recent advances in endoscopic technolo...
