Abstract:
Six cases with arteriovenous malformations (AVM) and intracerebral hematomas causing coma and tentorial herniation are presented. All patients were operated on acutely: The hematoma and malformation were removed. All patients survived. The acute operation on AVM with hematomas even in comatose patients with tentorial herniation is useful and possibly contributes to reduction of the total mortality.
