✓ This report describes the successful excision of a congenital vertebral arteriovenous malformation in an 8-year-old child. There was mild effort dyspnea and left ventricular cardiac enlargement; a left-to-right vertebral artery steal across the basilar trifurcation was a major consideration in planning the surgical approach.

✓ True intracranial arteriovenous fistulas are rare. The authors report a case of a direct fistula between the intracranial portion of the vertebral artery and the lateral medullary venous system. The patient initially presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage. An open surgical approach with clip obliteration of the lesion was used. The anatomy of this lesion and its surgical management are described.

✓ Purely intraorbital arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare, and their clinical management is controversial. The authors successfully treated a patient with an intraorbital AVF by transvenous embolization alone. An accurate distinction between an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which is characterized by the existence of a nidus, and an AVF, which has no nidus, is important and requires superselective ophthalmic artery angiography. Treatment of an intraorbital AVF by transvenous embolization can improve visual function.

✓ A case of atraumatic arteriovenous (AV) fistula of the extracranial vertebral artery associated with an atraumatic aneurysm of the contralateral extracranial vertebral artery is reported. The fistulous lesion was excised after distal and proximal ligation of the vessel. Subsequently, the contralateral aneurysm underwent spontaneous dissolution. Seven cases of extracranial vertebral AV fistulae associated with ipsilateral vertebral artery aneurysms (four traumatic and three as part of vascular dysplastic syndromes) have been reported previously.

✓ This 24-year-old man presented with an unusual case of a high-flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This lesion was similar to giant AVFs in children that have been previously described in the literature. In patients in whom abnormalities of the vein of Galen have been excluded and in whom presentation occurs after 20 years of age, a diagnosis of congenital AVF is quite unusual.The fistula in this case originated in an enlarged callosomarginal artery and drained into the superior sagittal sinus via a saccular vascular abnormality. Two giant aneurysmal dilations of the fistula were present. In an associated finding, a small falcine dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was also present. Arterial supply to the AVM arose from both external carotid arteries and the left vertebral artery, with drainage through an aberrant vein in the region of the inferior sagittal sinus into the vein of Galen.Craniotomy with exposure and trapping of the AVF was performed, with subsequent radiosurgical (linear accelerator) treatment of the dural AVM. Through this combination of microsurgical trapping of the AVF and radiotherapy of the dural AVM, an excellent clinical outcome was achieved.

✓ A patient is presented who developed a fatal hemorrhage immediately after balloon occlusion of an extracranial vertebral arteriovenous fistula. The fistula was associated with marked retrograde flow not only from the contralateral vertebral artery but also from the carotid artery system through the posterior communicating artery and the basilar artery. The bleeding appeared to be caused by acute hemodynamic effects following abrupt occlusion of the long-standing fistula. A gradual staged occlusion or trapping procedure should be considered for the treatment of such vertebral arteriovenous fistulae.

✓ A large traumatic arteriovenous malformation of the scalp was embolized with Pantopaque-saturated Gelfoam pledgets, which made fluoroscopic monitoring of the radiopaque emboli possible. Postembolization angiography demonstrated complete occlusion of the malformation. There is still no clinical or physical evidence of recurrence after an 8-month follow-up period.

✓ In a series of 1107 patients with cerebrovascular disease studied by four-vessel angiography, the authors have found 10 cases of a bypass anomaly of the vertebral artery. Six of the cases also had cerebral aneurysms, and two cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The authors discuss the possible origins for this relationship.
