Brain arteriovenous malformations are lesions that consist of multiple arteries and veins, connecting as a fistula without intervening normal capillary bed. As the disease progresses, the lesion may cause several adverse clinical events including stroke, seizure or even death. For patients with BAVM
Introduction Stroke can be defined as an abrupt loss of brain function that is caused by decreased cerebral blood flow.
Stroke can occur at all stages of life, but presentation is variable depending on age, involved artery, and underlying risk factors.
Younger children usually present with non
Background
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations consist of tangled blood vessels forming a so-called nidus which connects arteries to veins without the interposition of a capillary bed. Due to subsequent structural changes of draining veins within the nidus, patients are at risk of cerebral
Study Procedures Once the subject has agreed to participate in the study and has signed the consent form, the baseline visit can be performed. A full medical history will be taken and a physical exam will be done as per local routine practice for an embolization procedure. The Cognard scale will be
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are relatively uncommon but increasingly discovered lesions that can lead to significant neurological disability or death.1 Population-based data suggest that the annual incidence of discovery of a symptomatic AVM is approximately 1.1 per 100 000
Background and Objectives:
Management of acute ischemic stroke consists of thrombolytic drugs aiming at opening occluded vessels. Tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is the only drug approved by the FDA (1, 2). The use of TPA is significantly limited by a relatively narrow therapeutic window of up to
Brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) are an infrequent but important cause of stroke, particularly in a young population. Current invasive treatment strategies are varied and include endovascular procedures, neurosurgery, and radiotherapy. All of these treatments are administered on the
