[Cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Diagnosis, clinical aspects and therapy].
An overview of cerebral arteriovenous malformations is presented. These congenital lesions are classified according to volume, number of feeding arteries, type of venous drainage, and localization. Clinical manifestations are intracerebral or subarachnoidal hemorrhages, or symptomatic epileptic seizures. Most patients with AVM exhibit their first symptoms before the age of 40. Migraine-like headaches and "steal" phenomena are rarely the main symptoms. Diagnosis is obtained by means of MRI and selective angiography; the treatment of choice is a combination of interventional neuroradiological therapy, radiosurgery and/or microsurgery which is adjusted to the individual case.
