[Anatomo-surgical classification and surgical treatment of arteriovenous malformations in the posterior cranial fossa].
An increasing number of arteriovenous malformations of the posterior cranial fossa can be radically extirpated with good functional results, by using microsurgical techniques. Extensive involvement of the brain stem represents the limit for effective surgery. An anatomo-surgical classification of these lesions is presented, and the surgical indications are discussed.
