ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the brain have a low prevalence but are responsible for a significant component of visual pathology in the young population. Vascular studies using selective angiography are necessary to identify arterial connections and venous drainage, and provide useful information for planning treatment. CLINICAL CASE: A 10-year-old child with a temporo-occipital vascular malformation resulting in a left homonymous hemianopia. DISCUSSION: Arteriovenous malformations of the brain are lesions with a high morbidity and mortality. For the ophthalmologist, they are of special importance due to the possibility of causing a variety of visual defects, depending on their location.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las malformaciones arteriovenosas (MAV) son patologías de baja prevalencia pero responsable con relativa frecuencia de patología visual en la población joven. El estudio de la malformación vascular ha de realizarse mediante angiografías selectivas que marquen tanto las aferencias arteriales como los drenajes venosos, además, éstas, ofrecen información muy valiosa para orientar el tratamiento. Caso clínico: Se presenta un caso de hemianopsia homónima izquierda instaurada en un varón de diez años de edad con malformaciones arteriovenosas cerebrales temporo-occipitales derechas. Discusión: Las malformaciones arteriovenosas cerebrales son lesiones con una morbimortalidad elevada. Para el oftalmólogo, tienen especial importancia debido a la posibilidad de provocar, dependiendo de su localización, sintomatología visual variada
