Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations

Spinal arteriovenous malformations (SAVMs) are rare vascular lesions and account for about 4% of primary intraspinal masses. Since SAVMs can involve any location along the spinal column and produce a host of different problems, the symptoms are extremely variable. There are few reports of simultaneous cerebral SAH and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) following rupture of a spinal AVM (SAVMs). Herein, we present a rare case of Lumbo Sacral spine arteriovenous malformation, which clinically manifests as sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting due to isolated fourth ventricle Hemorrhage (IVH) without cerebral subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Introduction Benign sphenoid meningioma presenting with an acute intraventricular hemorrhage is extremely uncommon. Case report We report a case of a 61-year-old man who was admitted after sudden onset of a severe headache. Brain computed tomography revealed a sphenoid meningioma with acute intraventricular hemorrhage. Discussion Intraventricular hemorrhage caused by Meningiomas is infrequent. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the cause of hemorrhage. Conclusion The benignity of meningiomas is relative because these tumors can cause exceptional complications such as bleeding.

Abstract The unusual concurrence of a brain tumor and an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is discussed in this case report. A 12-year-old child presented with a severe headache, and an intracerebral mass was found on neuroradiological study. At operation, we encountered a superficial AVM, not shown on the computed tomogram or arteriogram. At a second procedure, a ganglioneuroma was removed. The literature on the concurrence of these two entities is reviewed; comments are made on the pathology of ganglion cell tumors.

Endoscopic Aqueductoplasty

Isolated fourth ventricle is not uncommon in complex posthemorrhagic or postinfectious hydrocephalus. When the condition is symptomatic, the current surgical treatment is endoscopic aqueductoplasty, followed by endoscope-assisted placement of a catheter in the fourth ventricle. The authors suggest a very simple method of steering the tip of standard ventricular catheters by using materials commonly available in all operating rooms. The main advantage of this method is that it permits less invasive transaqueductal drainage of trapped fourth ventricles, especially in cases of narrow third ventricle, because the scope and catheter are introduced in sequence and not in a double-barreled fashion. Two illustrative cases are reported.

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is common among preterm infants as many of them survive with the advancements in neonatal care. Severe IVH may lead to significant morbidity and mortality. The objective of our study is to find out the significant clinical signs of IVH in preterm neonate for early detection by ultrasonography.Methods: This prospective observational study was done in special care baby unit (SCABU), Bangladesh Institute of Research & rehabilitation of Diabetic, Endocrine & metabolic Disorder (BIRDEM) for a period of one year. Eighty five preterm neonates were included in this study. Clinical features of IVH like- convulsion, lethargy, irritability, bulged fontanelle, recurrent apnea, sudden onset of respiratory distress, sudden pallor and bradycardia were observed. Cranial ultrasound studies were done within 7 days of life in all cases to identify IVH.Result: Mean gestational age of these neonates was 31.31(±2.2) weeks & mean birth weight was 1413.42 (±330.55) gm. Among 85 preterm neonates 21(24.7%) developed IVH, confirmed by ultrasonography of brain. Clinical features like convulsion, bulged fontanel, repeated apnea & sudden pallor were significantly present in IVH group.Conclusion: Intraventricular Hemorrhage constitutes an important cause of morbidity and mortality in neonate. This study showed that clinical features like convulsion, bulged fontanel and sudden pallor had a significant relationship with intraventricular hemorrhage which will help for its early detection.Birdem Med J 2017; 7(3): 194-197

Level Of Significance

Background: Although it is well characterized in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, vasospasm is exceedingly rare following cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) rupture. Subsequently, this complication is poorly characterized with regard to delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). We review cases of ruptured AVM to assess the frequency and severity of vasospasm on cerebral angiography, and DCI. Summary: We reviewed our institutional database of acute intracranial hemorrhages between 2005 and 2014. We identified patients with cerebral AVM rupture and evidence of vasospasm, which was confirmed with digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Cerebral angiograms were evaluated by 2 blinded neurointerventionalists for vasospasm. Statistical analyses were conducted on the angiographic results and variables of interest to determine predictors and associations of vasospasm and DCI. Thirty-six patients with acute intracranial hemorrhage due to ruptured cerebral AVM subsequently underwent cerebral angiography. The interrater reliability for vasospasm was 0.81. The incidence of vasospasm was 13.9% and the incidence of subsequent DCI was 11.1%. A significant relationship existed between isolated intraventricular hemorrhage and vasospasm (p = 0.001) and subsequent DCI (p = 0.006). Radiographic vasospasm was associated with DCI in 80% of the patients (p < 0.0001). No statistical significance existed between subarachnoid hemorrhage and the development of vasospasm or DCI (p = 1.000 and p = 0.626, respectively). All differences were significant at a 99% level of significance. Key Message: In cases of ruptured AVM, isolated intraventricular hemorrhage appears to be an independent risk factor for vasospasm and DCI. Vasospasm must be considered during late neurological deterioration following AVM hemorrhage, especially in the setting of isolated intraventricular hemorrhage.

Perimedullary spinal AVM is a rare type of spinal arteriovenous malformations. We present a case of 70 yrs female who presented with motor weakness in her bilateral limbs. Initial MRI was misinterpreted as ependymal myxoma; however, histopathology revealed spinal AVM. MRA or DSA should be conducted if AVM is suspected.
