✓ We have operated on 12 of 14 cases of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the posterior fossa since 1968, with one death. The lesions were in the cerebellum in 10 cases (three anteromedial, one central, three lateral, and three posteromedial), and in the cerebellopontine angle in two; in two cases the lesions were directly related to the brain stem. The AVM's in the anterior part of the cerebellum were operated on through a transtentorial occipital approach.

✓ A posterior fossa exploration was performed on a child thought initially to have an inoperable brain stem lesion. A pontine hematoma was discovered and evacuated. The pathological specimen was designated as a “cryptic” arteriovenous malformation. All preoperative neurological deficits disappeared except for a minimal left seventh nerve palsy.

✓ 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.

Dural Avm

✓ A dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the posterior fossa can produce persistent tinnitus, convulsions, and dementia. Successful therapeutic embolization may result in a complete cure, but in some cases, patients do not respond to the treatment. The authors report a patient with a dural AVM of the posterior fossa that did not respond to repeated intravascular treatments, but resulted in an arteriovenous shunt in the scalp around the ventriculoperitoneal shunt system. Although several hypotheses have been proposed on the pathogenesis of dural AVMs, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The rare complication we encountered may shed some light on the pathogenesis of dural AVMs.

✓ A case is described in which vertebral artery occlusion, caused by a fibrous band, occurred whenever the patient turned his head to the right side, resulting in vertigo and syncope whenever the head was turned to the right. Release of a fibrous band crossing the vertebral artery 2 cm from its origin relieved the patient's vertebral artery constriction and symptoms.

The Right

✓ A case is presented of tentorial dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) associated with visual hallucinations and quadrant hemianopsia. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging showed an ischemic region, mainly affecting the white matter of the right occipital lobe, that was defined as an area of increased blood volume on dynamic CT scans and as a decrease in cerebral blood flow on N-isopropylp-123I-iodoamphetamine single-photon emission CT scans. Angiography demonstrated venous congestion, probably because the retrograde arterial inflow from the dural AVM into the corticomedullary vein was direct and not via the sinuses. The symptoms and radiological findings improved immediately after endovascular treatment. The origin of these symptoms was fully evaluated and confirmed to be a reversible ischemic change caused by disturbance of the volume of venous return over an extensive area.

✓ The authors report the case of a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage in whom an intracranial dural arteriovenous malformation coexisted with a spinal arteriovenous malformation. The latter was considered to be the source of the hemorrhage by clinical and radiographic criteria. It is concluded that patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage who show no suitable intracranial source for their bleed in some instances should be investigated for a spinal origin of hemorrhage.
