Ask Questions of this Manuscript:
What is the background behind your study?
Multiple cerebral AVMs are incidence ranges from 0.3 to 4.9 % in all AVM patients.
What is the purpose of your study?
Radiosurgery or embolization has been suggested as a useful modality added to the surgical treatment of patients with multiple cerebral AVMs.
Describe your patient group.
A 27-year-female was admitted on Nov-7-2006.
Describe what you did.
A Brain CT showed a right frontoparietal intracerebral hematoma. Cerebral angiography demonstrated two separate AVMs, one fed by the right MCA, the other fed by Posterior circulation. GK Surgery was undergone.
Describe your main findings.
2 years later, angiography revealed complete obliteration of two cerebral AVMs.
Describe the main limitation of this study.
This is a retrospective study.
Describe your main conclusion.
The therapeutic strategy for cerebral AVMs remains difficult, especially if there are multiple scattered lesions.
Describe the importance of your findings and how they can be used by others.
In our case, GK Surgery is effective for multiple cerebral AVMs.
