Comprehensive Guide to Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations and Arteriovenous Fistulas

Edited by Aaron S. Dumont, Giuseppe Lanzino, and Jason P Sheehan

Contributions from Leading Multidisciplinary Experts

This book is a comprehensive compendium on state-of-the-art management of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). It covers all major treatment approaches including microsurgery, endovascular treatment, and radiosurgery.

Cerebrovascular Anatomy and Pathogenesis

The text begins with in-depth coverage of cerebrovascular anatomy susceptible to abnormalities, followed by pathogenesis, physiology, hemodynamics, natural history, clinical presentation, and indications for treatment of AVMs and AVFs.

Expert Insights and Clinical Pearls

Internationally renowned experts provide clinical pearls and insights based on hands-on surgical expertise, case studies, and evidence-based data.

Uncommon Congenital Syndromes and Genetic Disorders

Detailed diagnosis and treatment of uncommon congenital syndromes including Wyburn-Mason syndrome and Parkes-Weber syndrome; and autosomal dominant genetic disorders such as Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome) and Capillary malformation/arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome.

High-Quality Illustrations and Videos

More than 300 high-quality illustrations plus videos elucidate impacted cerebrovasculature and treatment modalities.

Preoperative and Postoperative Imaging

The utilization of preoperative and postoperative imaging for AVM evaluation and intraoperative imaging for AVMs and AVFs.

Surgical Management of AVMs and AVFs

Surgical management of lobar AVMs, brain dural arteriovenous fistulas, cerebellar AVMs, basal ganglia, thalamic, and brainstem AVMs.

Complications and Controversies

Complications and controversies including hemorrhaging, inoperable malformations, pediatric cases, residual or recurrent AVMs, epilepsy, and seizures.

Step-by-Step Tutorials and Classification Systems

With step-by-step tutorials and classification systems for brain AVMs and fistulas, this is a must-have guide on cerebrovascular malformations. It will benefit trainee and experienced neurosurgeons alike.
