Giant dural supratentorial arteriovenous malformation

Orbital arteriovenous malformation mimicking cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous malformation.

AIMS Orbital arteriovenous malformations (OAVM) are rare, mostly described with high flow characteristics. Two cases are reported with an OAVM of distinct haemodynamic abnormality. The clinical, angiographic features, and the management considerations are discussed. METHODS Case review of two patients with dural AVM (DAVM) who presented to referral neuro-ophthalmology and endovascular service...

Giant pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.

A 44-year-old man was admitted with coughing and dyspnea for 3 weeks. Chest radiography and thoracic CT scanning confirmed a huge left lung arteriovenous malformation (Fig. 1). Due to a prohibitively high operative risk, he was investigated with pulmonary angiography in preparation for embolization therapy (Fig. 2). The patient subsequently refused all further therapy. European Journal of Cardi...

Giant scalp arteriovenous malformation.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the scalp are rare lesions. The clinical picture presents with complaints of increased scalp, scalp disfigurement, pain and neurological symptoms. Its origin can be congenital or traumatic. We present a case of giant scalp AVMs and its management, followed by a brief literature review on the subject. The diagnosis of scalp AVMs is based on physical examinat...

Dural-pial arteriovenous malformation after sinus thrombosis.

BACKGROUND We report an unusual case of acquired dural-pial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) following sinus thrombosis. CASE DESCRIPTION Initial angiography performed in a 39-year-old man showed thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and the right transverse sinus (TS) but no vascular malformations. Follow-up angiography 29 months later revealed recanalization of the SSS and the TS,...
