Surgical excision is the only treatment method that immediately prevents increased morbidity or mortality as a result of hemorrhage from arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). For those lesions located deep within the cerebral hemispheres or near eloquent areas, conventional surgical resection may be a

Twenty-one intracranial arteriovenous malformations (17 pial, 3 dural, 1 mixed) have been studied by digital intravenous subtraction angiography (DIVA). A comparison with conventional arteriography has been performed. In this series DIVA was 100% diagnostic for AVM. However DIVA missed some small ar
Clinical data of 19 arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and 15 aneurysms (AN) are presented. Combined clinical, neurophysiological and neuroradiological follow-up studies have been carried out on the surviving patients (14 AVM .and 10 AN). Two patients with multiple AN had coarctation of the aorta. Th
