Clinical Observation and Surgical Treatment of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation

ABSTRACT

We have had 37 patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation and subarachnoid hemorrhage, who were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, Yonsei Medical Center from 1964 to 1976. All of the cerebral arteriovenous malformations were proved by cerebral angiography. Since the site of the lesions were considered to have a close relation to the neurologic deficit and the results of surgery, various analysis of clinical manifestations and of the cerebral angiographic findings were attempted. Out of 37 patients, surgery was performed in 28 and the results were analysed according to the various type of surgical procedure.
