Abstract:
Objective To analyse clinical features of 86 cases of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and explore strategies and methods of the microsurgical treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.Methods The clinical data of 86 intracranial arteriovenous malformation from January 2010 to January 2013 were retrospectively reviewed.For diagnosis,computed tomography (CT) with angiography (CTA),and DSA were used,which could provide real size,location,feeding arteries and draining veins of AVM,and apply NEPM to evaluate the nerve function,assess the qualitative and quantitative flow rate of AVM and surrounding blood vessels by Doppler ultrasonography and fluorescein angiography,and reveal opography of AVM.Operative techniques were used including embolization,feeding artery control.Results Eighty-six cases of AVM were resected successfully under mutitechnology.Following-up demonstrated excellent neurological outcomes in 70 cases,nine case had mild disability,five cases had severe disability,two dead cases.DSA shows resected completely,and long-term follow-up was still in progress,conclusion Multi-technology combined microsurgical techniques which can effective improve the outcomes of intracranial arteriovenous malformations.
