Magnetic resonance angiography of arteriovenous malformation in the brainstem.
The magnetic resonance (MR) angiography appearance of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the tegmentum and pons is described. The interpeduncular perforating branches of the posterior cerebral artery and median pontine branches of the basilar artery were seen more clearly by MR angiography than by conventional angiography. MR angiography was very useful for the follow-up of AVM after stereotactic radiosurgery.
