Abstract
Aim. To assess the results of the activities of the neurosurgical service of the Republican Research Center of Emergency Medicine (RRCEM) over a twenty-year period of operation with an analysis of the results of neurosurgical care for patients with arteriovenous malformations of the brain (AVM). Material and Methods. The analysis was carried out of 54 patients examined and operated on for AVM, in the period from 2001 to 2020, who were treated at the Department of Adult Neurosurgery of the RRCEM. Results. The basis of our principle of a differentiated surgical approach in the treatment of AVM is the determination of the AVM grading according to the Spetzler-Martin and Lawton-Young scales. Limiting only microsurgical AVM resection is advisable for AVMs – I and II grades according to the Spetzler-Martin and Lawton-Young scales. For patients with high grades of AVMs – grade III and more, it is more expedient to use a combined technique, and with deeply located AVMs, endovascular embolization.
