Bilateral lenticulostriate arteriovenous malformations--case report
Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica
|July 1, 1989
Summary
This study reports an extremely rare case of bilateral lenticulostriate arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in a 6-year-old child. The AVMs were inoperable and managed conservatively, highlighting the rarity of this condition.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Surgery
- Pediatric Cardiology
Background:
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies.
- Lenticulostriate artery AVMs primarily affect the basal ganglia.
- Intraventricular hemorrhage is a known complication of neonatal AVMs.
Observation:
- A 6-year-old male presented with bilateral lenticulostriate arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
- The patient had a history of intraventricular hemorrhage at 10 days old.
- Cerebral angiography confirmed bilateral basal ganglia AVMs with associated vascular anomalies.
Findings:
- The bilateral AVMs were deemed inoperable.
- Conservative management was initiated for the AVMs.
- This case represents an extremely rare instance of bilateral, symmetrical cerebral AVMs.
Implications:
- Highlights the diagnostic challenges and management of rare AVM presentations.
- Underscores the importance of long-term monitoring for patients with complex vascular anomalies.
- Contributes to the limited literature on bilateral basal ganglia AVMs, aiding future research and clinical practice.

5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

02:11Reporter Genes
13.4K
Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

3.2K
Documentation is the systematic process of formally recording, maintaining, and communicating information.
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...
