CLINICAL CASE OF ARTERIO-VENOUS MALFORMATION OF NECK AS AN INCIDENTAL FINDING

Abstract

Arterio-venous malformations are rather rare findings but sometimes they result in neurologic complications and lethality. These diseases quite often manifest with hemorrhages, cerebral seizures (in cases with intracranial locations).Modern diagnostic methods allow to diagnose cases with AVM of the central nervous system at pre-clinical stage. Last years we tried to improve methods of surgical treatment in AVM patients, intravascular occlusion and possibility of radiosurgery.
