✓ A four-grade classification scheme for intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM's) is proposed. Grading is based on 1) the size of the AVM; 2) its location and depth; 3) its arterial supply; and 4) its venous drainage. Each of these aspects is divided into four grades with respect to the difficulty it poses for surgical excision. A description of the grading system and its application is given. This grading scale has been correlated with the operative morbidity and mortality in 100 cases of excised intracranial AVM's. The results show that the higher the grade of AVM, the greater the risk of surgical morbidity and mortality. This grading scale is simple and easy to apply. It can guide neurosurgeons in selecting AVM patients suitable for operation, in determining the best type of operation to perform, and in predicting operative difficulties as well as postoperative results.

Abstract The intravascular use of the rapidly polymerizing acrylic compound, isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate (IBC). in 10 patients with intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is described. The monomer was introduced into each malformation at craniotomy using angiographic control and microvascular dissection technique to identify, isolate, and inject the major components of each vascular lesion while attempting to preserve normal arterial circulation. Postoperative angiography was used routinely to evaluate the results of IBC embolization. Four patients underwent the injection and immediate surgical excision of an intracranial AVM, and 6 underwent injection alone; 3 of the latter had residual malformation demonstrated on postoperative angiography, and 1 of these patients had the remnants of her malformation occluded by a second embolic procedure. There was no operative mortality nor permanent neurological morbidity. Three patients suffered transient neurological dysfunction in the immediate postoperative period.
