Abstract:
The authors experience 3 cases of angiographically occult vascular malformation(AVOM) of the brain during the last 3 months in 1990. All cases were diagnosis of either operative or pathological finding and were associated with intracerebral hemorrhage. The authors recommend that surgery should be considered even to those angiographically negative intracerebral hemorrhage cases, once clinical features are highly suggestive of AOVM. Surgery can be an effective and define therapy for these entities, which are prone to cause recurrent hemorrhage and persistent neural deficits.
