Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of embolization therapy with NBCA for intracranial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in infants. Methods Four patients with cerebral arteriovenous fistula were reported, including 3 males and 1 female with nonspecific symptoms and signs, and the diagnosis was made by DSA. Three of them were treated by embolization therapy with NBCA. Results Three of the cases were treated by NBCA, neither death nor complication occurred. Conclusion Intracranial AVF is rare in childhood. Endovascular treatment with NBCA is effective and safe, but the long-term effect has to be comfirmed by follow-up study.
