Сlinical case o successful endovascular treatment of brain stem arteriovenous malformation
Abstract
Objective: to demonstrate the possibilities of modern endovascular surgery for treatment of patient with brain stem arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
Material and methods: patient 46 years old with severe oculomotor deficit suffered from repeated ventricular hemorrhages. Brain MRI revealed AVM in oral parts of brain stem.
Results: the successful transarterial embolization of AVM using non-adhesive composition Onyx-18 (Covidien) was performed.
Conclusion: the usage of endovascular embolization of brain stem AVM is relatively effective method for treatment of patients with such pathology.
