The relationship between morphometric characteristics of venous drainages of arteriovenous malformations of the brain and types of clinical course

Background. Arteriovenous malformations of the brain are a rare vascular pathology. Many studies focus on features venous drainage arteriovenous malformations. The angioarchitectural and hemodynamic component can influence patient management. Objective . To evaluate relationship between types clinical course. Design methods. Survey included 61 adult patients neurosurgical department № 3 Polenov RNSI with supratentorial localization. Demographic morphometric characteristics, as well malformations, were assessed. Groups distinguished according to type course disease. Results. dependence hemorrhagic such factors exclusively into deep vein system, presence combination macrofistula lacunae. epileptic was more typical for superficial localization malformation. torpid had no distinctive features. Conclusion. Drainage system lacunae is characteristic characterized by
