Treatment of Intracranial Superfi cial Micro-AVMs: A Single Center Experience
Journal Title: Journal of Neurology, Neurological Science and Disorders - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Surgery and embolization may both be considered in ruptured superficial micro-AVMs. However, surgery may be challenged by poor recognition of the lesion and embolization by difficulty in achieving complete obliteration and avoiding en passage feeders. Recent developments in AVM surgery and embolization techniques call for a reevaluation of these treatment options.
