title: Radiologic findings and clinical significance of venous compartment of brain arteriovenous shunts.
abstract: The venous compartment of brain AVS is closely related to the development of various clinical consequences, including hemorrhage, seizure, and neurologic deficit. Therefore, understanding the venous etiology of the clinical symptoms and the imaging characteristics of partial or complete venous outlet thrombosis is critical for the proper management of patients with brain AVSs.
