Abstract

erebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may serve as a considerable source of neurological morbidity as C a result of hemorrhage, seizures, and/or focal neurologic deficits. Hemorrhage remains the most common modality of AVM presentation, occurring in approximately 50% of cases (2, 5, 19). Annual AVM hemorrhage rates generally range from 2% to 4%; however, they are largely influenced by a previous history of hemorrhage and AVM angioarchitecture, particularly drainage pattern, location, and associated aneurysms (2, 5, 19). Protection from hemorrhage remains the primary presumed benefit of AVM treatment, whereas the improvement of seizures still remains a matter of debate (10).
