Wikipedia
- “Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system.”
- “AVMs are usually congenital.”

Epidemiology• The estimated detection rate of AVM in the US general
population is 1.4/100,000 per year.*
• An estimated 300,000 americans have AVMs.
• 12% symptomatic.

Signs and symptoms
88% of people affected with AVM are asymptomatic**National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
Symptoms of AVM vary according to the location of the malformation and the draining veins.
• Seizure• Headache • Progressive neurologic deficit• Hemorrhage

Pathophysiology• Wikipedia Student: “Artery – Capillaries – Vein”.
• High Pressure → Low Pressure.
• The resulting tangle of blood vessels: Nidus.

HemorrhageNatural Hystory
• Overall 2% - 4% annual rate of hemorrhage
• Type Hemorrhage:- Intraparenchymal;- Intraventricular;- Subdural.
![Page 8: AVM for “Dummies” Cezar Jose Mizrahi MD Neurosurgery Department Hadassah Ein-Kerem 27.05.2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649efd5503460f94c108cb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Risk Factors - bleeding• Hystory of prior bleeding
• Small AVM
• Deep Venous Drainage
• Higher feeding artery pressures
• Intranidal Aneurysm

Diagnosis• CT
• CTA
• MRI
• MRA
• DSA

AVM – “to feel smart”
→ AVMs may occur in isolation or as a part of another disease:
- Von Hippel-Lindau disease.- Hereditary hemorrhagic
telangiectasia.
→ Associated with Aortic Stenosis**Batur, P.; Stewart, WJ; Isaacson, JH (2003). "Increased Prevalence of Aortic Stenosis in Patients with Arteriovenous Malformations of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Heyde Syndrome". Archives of Internal Medicine 163 (15): 1821–4

Spetzler-Martin AVM grading system
• The score correlates with operative outcome.
• Give a score between 1 and 5.
• Grade 6 is used to describe inoperable lesions

Spetzler-Martin AVM grading system
• Size of nidus • small (<3cm) = 1• medium (3 - 6cm) = 2• large (> 6cm) = 3
• Eloquence of adjacent brain • non-eloquent = 0• eloquent = 1
• Venous drainage • superficial only = 0• deep = 1
![Page 14: AVM for “Dummies” Cezar Jose Mizrahi MD Neurosurgery Department Hadassah Ein-Kerem 27.05.2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649efd5503460f94c108cb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Eloquent???• Eloquence brain • sensorimotor, language, visual cortex, hypothalamus, thalamus,
brain stem, cerebellar nuclei, or regions directly adjacent to these structures.
• Non-eloquence brain • frontal and temporal lobe, cerebellar hemispheres.
