Prenatal diagnosis of intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula Diagnóstico pré-natal de fístula arteriovenosa pial

چکیده
The vast majority of cerebral vascular malformations reported in the antenatal literature are aneurysmal malformations of the vein of Galen. Other types of intracranial vascular malformations are exceptional in fetuses. The authors present a case of prenatal diagnosis of intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula, not involving the vein of Galen and not showing abnormal intracranial anatomic features, or other sonographic findings.

Background and Importance: Intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula is a recently described matter as a rare vascular malformation occurring in children. It is usually located in the subpial space in the intracranial cavity with a high-flow shunt.

We present a case with prenatal diagnosis of an intracranial high-flow pial arteriovenous fistula that was draining into the vein of Galen in the third trimester of pregnancy. The child was treated by transcatheter embolization with N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) via the umbilical artery in the early neonatal period due to intractable cardiac failure. Hydrocephalus developed and a ventriculoper...

Intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare cerebrovascular malformation, which has a single or multiple arterial connections to a single venous channel without intervening nidus, and is different from arteriovenous malformation (AVM). We report on a case of a surgically treated pial AVF. A 15-year-old girl with an altered mental state was brought to our hospital. Computed tomograph...

We describe a rare case where a patient developed intracranial pial arteriovenous (AV) fistula due to dural tenting. The patient was a 63-year-old woman who had undergone neck clipping for an unruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm. The surgery was performed without any problems and her postoperative course was uneventful. Two weeks after cerebral angiography operation revealed a pial ...

Congenital intracranial pial arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare cerebrovascular lesions. Their clinical manifestations tend to vary according to age, with pediatric populations being more likely to have symptoms like congestive cardiac failure and seizures because of arteriovenous shunting; hemorrhage is the major presentation in adult populations. Pediatric populations, especially newborn ...
