Combined treatment for a hemispheric cerebellar AVM

Posterior fossa arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can be a challenging disease, especially those large in size. AVMs can be treated with a combination of endovascular treatment and microsurgery.

Description
Summary:Posterior fossa arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can be a challenging disease, especially those large in size. AVMs can be treated with a combination of endovascular treatment and microsurgery. Here, the authors present the case of a 16-year-old female patient with progressive dizziness and episodic syncope. The workup of the patient showed a hemispheric cerebellar AVM, Spetzler-Martin grade IV. She underwent combined treatment (endovascular and microsurgery) with no complications and cure of the malformation. The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/rNw_Kyd76Mg.
