Evolution of clinical and translational advances in the management of pediatric arteriovenous malformations

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) represent one of the most challenging diagnoses in pediatric neurosurgery. Until recently, the majority of AVMs was only identified after hemorrhage and primarily treated with surgery. However, recent advances in a wide range of fields—imaging, surgery, interventio...

Description
Summary:Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) represent one of the most challenging diagnoses in pediatric neurosurgery. Until recently, the majority of AVMs was only identified after hemorrhage and primarily treated with surgery. However, recent advances in a wide range of fields—imaging, surgery, interventional radiology, radiation therapy, and molecular biology—have profoundly advanced the understanding and therapy of these complex lesions. Here we review the progress made in pediatric AVMs with a specific focus on innovations relevant to clinical care.
