Embolization, staged resection, and meticulous surgical technique have decreased but not completely eliminated this complication. In this study we prospectively assess the prevalence of intracranial hypert...
متن کاملOccult cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
Angiographically occult arteriovenous malformations in the brain are rare but cause considerable diagnostic difficulty. Four personal cases are presented in which CT scans showed hypodense lesions with minimal or no enhancement, and angiograms showed only an avascular mass. Gliomas, a dermoid and an infarct were suspected before histological examination of biopsies or excised specimens. The pat...

In the cerebral hemispheres, they frequently occur as cone-shaped lesions with the apex of the cone reaching toward the ventricles. Nearly all AVMs are thought to be congenital. Supratentorial location is the most common...
