Abstract

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are congenital vascular lesions that may appear throughout the central nervous system. They consist of direct connections between arteries and veins, without an intervening capillary bed. They are believed to be about one-tenth as common as intracranial aneurysms. Intracranial AVMs, their pathophysiology, natural history, and management are discussed in this chapter. Spinal AVMs are discussed in Chap. 20. Vein of Galen malformations and pial arteriovenous fistulas are separate entities and are discussed in the Appendix to this chapter.
