AbstractA 25-year-old patient presented with bleeding of right pinna arteriovenous malformation (AVM). There was history of ipsilateral external carotid artery (ECA) ligation 10 years back. Subsequent investigations (ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, digital subtraction angiography) showed recruitment of complex collaterals from the ipsilateral subclavian artery and vertebral artery feeding the recurrent nidus. The patient underwent two sessions of endovascular embolization and one session of percutaneous embolization. We wish to highlight the feasibility of antegrade embolization in such cases via collaterals and role of direct percutaneous treatment.

✓ The case of a 57-year-old woman with a 14-year history of progressive paraparesis is presented. Selective spinal angiography revealed a juvenile-type spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with a typical large size and rapid flow. The AVM was located primarily in the retromedullary space at the cervicothoracic junction. The AVM was successfully obliterated by intraoperative embolization using isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate and surgical excision.

Abstract Background A pulmonary arteriovenous malformation is an abnormal dilated blood vessel that makes direct communication between a pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein and can be associated with hypoxemia or neurological complications, including brain abscess and cerebral infarction. Treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation includes surgical resection and transcatheter embolotherapy, however the adaptation of therapies should be considered when a patient is in bad condition. Case presentation A 51-year-old man was admitted after developing fever, consciousness disorder, and hypoxemia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a brain abscess. Bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous malformations were found by contrast computed tomography. Because of a family history of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, a history of epistaxis, and the existence of oral mucosa telangiectasia, he was diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and brain abscess caused by intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt. The brain abscess improved with antibiotic treatment; however, the administration of oxygen did not ameliorate his hypoxemia. His hypoxemia was exacerbated by positive pressure ventilation. Considering his systemic and respiratory condition, we considered surgery to involve a high degree of risk. After controlling his brain abscess and pneumonia, transcatheter embolotherapy was performed. This improved his systemic condition, enabling surgical treatment. Conclusions This middle-aged patient suffering from brain abscess and severe hypoxemia with multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations was successfully treated by a combination of transcatheter embolotherapy and surgery. The adaptation and combination of therapies, as well as the sequence of treatments, should be considered depending on the patient status and lesions.

Feeding Vessel

Scalp arteriovenous malformation (AVM) are rare conditions that usually need surgical treatment. Its management is difficult because of its high shunt flow, complex vascular anatomy, and possible cosmetic complication. The etiology of scalp AVM may be spontaneous or traumatic. This vascular lesion present as scalp lump or a mass, grotesque, pulsatile mass with a propensity to massive haemorrhage. Various treatment option that have been adopted to treat these lesions include surgical excision, ligation of feeding vessel, trans arterial and transvenous embolization, injection of sclerosant into the nidus and electro thrombosis. A 22-years-old-female referred to cardiothoracic division with a 10 years history of a large fronto-parietal pulsatile reddish soft mass, progressively increasing in size, measuring about 15x6x2 cm, ulcerated area; without any symptoms and history of trauma. Three-dimensional CT angiography demonstrated a mass that was completely within the scalp and prominent vascular that was completely within the scalp and was not associated with bone or periosteum. The feeding arteries were originated from angular artery, supratrochlear artery, left and right superficial temporal artery. Surgical excision and ligation of feeding vessel was performed without complication. With pre-operative appropriate surgical planning, scalp AVM can be excised safely without any major complication. Though some cases may be treated with percutaneous or endovascular embolization, surgery remains the treatment of choice. In the event of scalp ulceration and haemorrhage, total excision is the only option.

✓ In many patients with superficial siderosis of the central nervous system (CNS) no source of bleeding can be established, despite extensive examinations. The authors report a patient with superficial siderosis and a spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that was not visible on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or myelography but was identified on angiographic studies. This 71-year-old man presented with a 2-year history of progressive gait difficulties and hearing loss. Examination showed ataxia, hearing loss, and quadriparesis. On MR imaging superficial siderosis of the brain and spinal cord as seen; however, MR imaging of the CNS, as well as cerebral angiography and myelography studies, did not reveal the source of hemorrhage. Spinal angiography revealed a small slow-flow pial AVM at the C-5 level originating from the anterior spinal artery. A C-5 corpectomy was performed and the AVM was obliterated. The patient did well and reported no further progression of his symptoms during 3 months of follow up. Spinal angiography is indicated to complete the evaluation of patients with superficial siderosis, even if results of spinal MR imaging and myelography studies are normal. Obliteration of spinal AVMs may successfully prevent the progression of superficial siderosis.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare congenital condition of the brain. In majority of cases AVMs remain asymptomatic and silent till it ruptures. But it can be a cause of cerebral haemorrhage, stroke, seizures, moderate to severe headache, loss of vision, aphasia, numbness or weakness of limbs. In current study, revealed a 25 years age patient of AVM admitted in Department of Neurosurgery at National Institute of Neurosciences (NINS) on December, 2013 with the complaints of loss of consciousness two times before admission, history of generalized seizure started over left side, headache for 2 years and vertigo for 1 year. Following admission the patient was evaluated clinically including all neurological examinations. All routine investigations were done. The patient was further evaluated by MRI, CT scan, CTA. Arteriovenous malformation was found in left frontal region. Under G/A nidus was excised totally in a single mass. Post MRI had shown the total removal of the AVM. Histopathological findings also revealed arteriovenous malformations. The post-operative period was uneventful and patient improved satisfactorily. He was found neurologically stable in follow up after 3 months. These researchers reported this case for its rarity and effective diagnosis and treatment by surgery.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2017;3(1): 62-66

Abstract Twenty-three of 538 patients undergoing elective craniotomy had a seizure within 24 hours after operation. The lesion had been located extra-axially in 15 patients and intra-axially in 8 patients. Except for 1 patient who had a parietal craniotomy for an arteriovenous malformation, all patients had a frontal or temporal exposure. Only 5 patients had a previous history of seizures. Adequate levels of anticonvulsant medication were not present in 19 of the 23 patients before operation. No major postoperative metabolic abnormalities were noted in any of the 23 patients. Thirteen of the 23 patients underwent computed tomography to evaluate the etiology of their seizures; none had a significant intracerebral or extracerebral hematoma. This review suggests that an early postoperative seizure is unlikely to be due to a postoperative hematoma or to metabolic abnormality. The most common association in this series was with inadequate anticonvulsant prophylaxis. An approach to postoperative seizure prophylaxis and management is presented.
