Unruptured cerebral arteriovenous malformations: to treat or not to treat.
See related article, pages 1243–1247 As noninvasive brain imaging for sometimes dubious indications becomes more and more ubiquitous, greater numbers of asymptomatic lesions are being found and management decisions are being required. Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) represent a particularly challenging subset of these lesions, given their overall low incidence and the high frequency ...
متن کاملUnruptured Epileptogenic Brain Arteriovenous Malformations.
AIM To determine whether specific clinical and radiographic factors predispose arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) presenting with seizure and to predict the seizure risk for individual AVM patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical features and cerebral angiograms of consecutive 45 unruptured AVM patients who were diagnosed in our center in a 2-year period were reviewed. Patient data (analysis c...
متن کاملUnruptured brain arteriovenous malformations: another asymptomatic conundrum.
There are 3 major asymptomatic cerebrovascular diseases that challenge the stroke clinician at the bedside. These are asymptomatic carotid disease, unruptured cerebral aneurysms and unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). In all 3 conditions, there are uncertainties about natural history, risks and benefits of intervention. While controversy remains, there have been 2 trials that h...
متن کاملManagement of unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations.
Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a common cause of stroke in younger patients, and often present as intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH), associated with 10 % to 30 % mortality. Patients who present with a hemorrhage from an AVM should be initially stabilized according to acute management guidelines for ICH. The characteristics of a lesion including its size, location in eloquent ...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations in A Randomized Trial of Unruptured Brain Arteriovenous Malformations (ARUBA)-Eligible Patients
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular lesions detected at an annual incidence of ≈1 in 100 000. The natural history of unruptured AVMs is more benign than ruptured ones, primarily because of their lower hemorrhage risk. The only currently available strategy for AVM management that provides durable relief from the risk of hemorrhage is complete obliteration of the nidus. ...
