Diffuse arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a newly identified subtype of AVMs characterized by normal brain tissue interspersed among abnormal vessels. These lesions present unique diagnostic and surgical challenges, expanding the known spectrum of AVMs.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neurosurgery
Vascular Malformations

Background:

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies.
Atypical AVMs with unique histopathological and angiographic features were identified.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a distinct subtype of AVMs, termed diffuse AVMs.
To characterize their clinical presentation, imaging findings, and surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of patient series with AVMs.
Analysis of angiographic and histopathological characteristics.
Evaluation of surgical and therapeutic outcomes.

Main Results:

Diffuse AVMs contain normal cerebral tissue between abnormal vessels.

Patients presented with hemorrhage, seizures, headache, or ischemic symptoms.

Angiography showed multiple small feeders, ectatic vessels, and diffuse contrast pooling.

Complete resection was achieved in 8 of 11 patients; 4 received radiation therapy.

Conclusions:

Diffuse AVMs represent a spectrum of AVMs from tight nidus to diffuse lesions.
These lesions pose significant surgical challenges.
Recognition of diffuse AVMs is crucial for effective surgical planning and management.
