New imaging modalities permit detailed knowledge of the anatomy of cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides morphological data, size and topography of the nidus, anatomic relationship, as well as dynamic information particularly with the use of MR angiography. Selective and hyperselective cerebral angiography provide information about the angioarchitecture and search for associated vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms. It is therefore possible to distinguish malformations associated with a high risk of hemorrhage and to define the indications for radiosurgery.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011379 Prognosis A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations. Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D002538 Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.
