[[Microsurgical treatment of cerebral hemangioma]

The authors present the results of microsurgical treatment of 16 patients with intracranial arteriovenous malformations. The applied technique made possible considerable sparing of healthy brain tissue and closing feeders closely to haemangioma. The patients in I to III degree according to Spetzler's scale left the hospital in good condition. The patients in IV and V degree in 4 cases were operated on twice and in control examination have presented mild neurological dysfunction. Severe disability was observed only in 1 patient. Control angiography revealed in 3 of these patients the presence of small parts of haemangioma.
