Summary
Mass effect is common in unruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), often linked to larger AVM size and venous pressure. These findings challenge the notion that mass effect solely indicates rupture.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Mass effect from arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is typically associated with rupture.
- This study investigates mass effect in clinically unruptured AVMs.
