ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of multimodality treatment of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) with Onyx embolization and microsurgery.Methods There were 48 patients with BAVM treated by combination of Onyx embolization and microsurgery.The clinical features,therapeutic process,complications and discharge status (by MRI,DSA and Glasgow outcome scale,GOS) were recorded in detail.The prognosis was estimated by modified Rankin scale (mRS) with 6-42 months' follow-up.Results The total resection rate was 97.9%.The therapy-related complications happened in 8 patients (16.7%).Among them,4 cases had dysfunction of central nervous system (8.3%),2 cases with intra-cerebral hemorrhage (4.2%),and 2 suffered from severe cerebral edema (4.2%).Good recovery was seen in 38 cases (79.2%) evaluated by GOS when discharged from hospital.The follow-up result mRS < 3 was 97.9%.Conclusion Multimodality treatment of BAVM with Onyx embolization and microsurgery should be a good therapeutic strategy.
