The treatment strategy concerning arteriovenous malformations at pregnant women

Abstract

The rupture of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) during pregnancy is a rare but dangerous event associated with a high perinatal mortality. This review discusses the influence of pregnancy on the AVM rupture as well as presents the main principles of treatment strategy for such pathology and the choice of anesthesia method and types of delivery. The AVM rupture during pregnancy requires immediate surgery in the most cases because of high risk of re-bleeding. The endovascular embolization followed by surgical excision of the AVM is the most effective treatment according to the available data in the literature. Concerning the unruptured AVMs revealed during pregnancy the conservative management of pregnancy is recommended to reduce the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (arterial blood pressure control, treatment of preeclampsia).
