2024年11月16日 · Brain arteriovenous malformations are a type of intracranial high-flow vascular malformation composed of enlarged feeding arteries, a nidus of vessels closely associated with the brain parenchyma through which arteriovenous shunting occurs and draining veins.

2021年5月18日 · Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are characterized by shunting between pial arteries and cortical or deep veins, with the presence of an intervening nidus of tortuous blood vessels. These lesions present a therapeutic challenge, because their natural history entails a risk of intracranial hemorrhage, but treatment may cause significant ...

This case demonstrates characteristic CT and CTA appearances of a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Given its location in the dominant (assuming right handed patient) temporal lobe, likely deep drainage and a small (<3cm) nidus, this would have a S-M grade of 3.

2015年12月23日 · CT perfusion demonstrated a decreased mean transit time (MTT) within the brain AVM due to a rapid shunt. Most interestingly, a marked increase in the MTT within the supplementary motor area (SMA) and anterior cingulate gyrus region was noted, indicating a prolonged AV transit time due to delayed outflow that resulted in venous congestion remote ...

2014年12月1日 · Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are rare lesions that are often discovered fortuitously. They should be identified on CT scan and MRI before resorting to angiography; the latter is used to prepare the treatment.

CT scanning of AVM of the brain can show an isoattenuating-to-hyperattenuating hemispheric mass, as well as an accompanying abnormal vascular supply. In the absence of hemorrhage, nonenhanced...

2009年2月22日 · Contrast injection is absolutely mandatory to depict the brain AVM on CT scan, as first modality imaging. The role of CT angiography (CTA) in the diagnosis is not precisely defined. CTA is a useful non-invasive method for detecting brain vascular diseases like AVMs (allowing initial diagnosis and some anatomic information -nidus, draining veins ...

CT angiography, time-resolved MR angiography DOI:10.2214/AJR.16.17306 Received September 1, 2016; accepted after revision November 22, 2016. OBJECTIVE. Brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) rupture results in substantial morbidity and mortality. The goal of AVM treatment is eradication of the AVM, but the risk

AVMs are the most frequent vascular malformations of the brain. They consist of vascular clusters that form direct arteriovenous shunts without any intermediary capillary network. The main presenting symptoms of AVMs of the brain are bleeding, seizures, progressive neurology deficit; and headaches [2].

Objective: Brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) rupture results in substantial morbidity and mortality. The goal of AVM treatment is eradication of the AVM, but the risk of treatment must be weighed against the risk of future hemorrhage. Conclusion: Imaging plays a vital role by providing the information necessary for AVM management.
