title: [Surgical treatment of arteriovenous malformations].
abstract: MAV surgery remains still today one of most difficult in the surgery of vascular malformations. Embolisation the most selective possible follow-up of a surgical removal carrying the totality of the nidus is the only effective treatment. Usually, MAV of small size, quiescent, should not be operated, the surgery being reserved for the evolutionary or complicated forms. This surgical procedure must allow the complete eradication of the lesion without which the cure is not possible. The incomplete removal causes repetition, sometimes aggravation with, sometimes, life threatening problems.
