title: Arteriovenous malformations of the splenium of the corpus callosum: microsurgical treatment.
abstract: Ten patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVM) involving the splenium of the corpus callosum are presented. All were treated by microsurgical techniques with no mortality and minimal morbidity. The diagnosis and operative technique is described, and these AVMs are compared with those involving the anterior and the middle portions of the corpus callosum.
