14 Ventricular and Periventricular Arteriovenous Malformations Microsurgical Anatomy Brain The cerebrum separates neatly into frontal, temporal, and parieto-occipital lobes, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) located in the cerebral hemispheres are based…

6 Parenchymal Dissection Circumdissection Parenchymal dissection detaches an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) from brain. Although pial dissection quickly exposes margins and closes superficial afferents, parenchymal dissection is lengthier and comprises two…
18 Patient Selection Judicious patient selection is essential to avoid surgical complications and poor neurologic outcomes with microsurgical resection of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs); it is the secret to success….
7 Ependymal/Deep Dissection The Dark Side “Ependymal” dissection may be a confusing term because many arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) do not reach a ventricle, but it is meant to describe the…
3 Draining Veins Absolute Preservation The most basic and important tenet of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) surgery is that the draining vein must be preserved until the very end of the…
5 Pial Dissection Arterial Fronts Previous phases of dissection—arteriovenous malformation (AVM) exposure, subarachnoid approach, definition of draining veins, and the identification of feeding arteries—are mere saber-rattling. The AVM is surveyed…
2 Subarachnoid Dissection Reconnaissance Subarachnoid dissection is the calm before the clash, when the arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is approached, encountered, and surveyed under the microscope without salvo. The labyrinth of…
