INTRACEREBRAL ARTERIOVENOUS-FISTULAS ASSOCIATED WITH INTRAPARENCHYMAL VARIX IN CHILDHOOD - CASE-REPORTS NEUROSURGERY Barnwell, S. L., Ciricillo, S. F., Halbach, V. V., Edwards, M. S., Cogen, P. H. 1990; 26 (1): 122-125

Abstract

This report describes three children, each of whom developed an unusual malformation consisting of one or more intracerebral arteriovenous fistulas and a large intraparenchymal venous varix. Their clinical symptoms were similar to those produced by aneurysms of the vein of Galen: increasing head circumference, seizures, hemorrhage, and developmental delay. We treated each child with endovascular embolization and/or surgery and obtained complete closure of all fistulas without mortality.
