Arteriovenous malformation

Retinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular anomalies. Initially named as “racemous haemangiomas” or “cirsoidal aneurisms”, these anomalies are defined by aberrant arterio-venous shunts [112]. Possible associations with cerebral arteriovenous malformation have been described, i.e. Bonnet-Dechaume-Blanc syndrome (1937) or Wyburn-Mason syndrome (1943) [113]. Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are typically unilateral, non hereditary and asymptomatic. These vascular malformations

Ruptured Saccular Intracranial Aneurysm associated with Arteriovenous Malformation Introduction An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal collection of blood vessels in which arterial blood flows directly into the draining vein without the normal interposed capillaries. AVM are tangled anastomosis of blood vessels of varying calibre in which arteriovenous shunting occurs in a central nidus in which the area towards in which multiple feeding arteries converge and from which enlarged vein

Arteriovenous Malformation Resection Arteriovenous Malformation Resectionis a type of procedure which is performed when there is an abnormal tangle of vessels in the brain or spinal cord which can occur with one or more arteries which can be directly connected to one or more veins people are born with this although the it is not found to be hereditary. The arteries which carry oxegen aged blood to the heart and to the tissues and veins take blood back from the tissues to the heart n an Arteriovenous

We read with great interest a case report by Tosya et al. on isolated hydatidosis involving the ascending aorta [1]. Cystic hydatid disease still represents a neglected disease despite being highly endemic in a myriad of livestock-raising regions worldwide, and this case presentation makes evident how diverse the localization and clinical manifestations of this infection can be. With this comment, our aim is to extend the discussion by highlighting several important issues. The described patient

of all hemangiomas included in the study. One hemangioma at the peri-orbital region showed multiple arterial feeders & surgical excision of the lesion was the choice of treatment, although the hemangioma was small in size. Low flow venous malformation appear on MRI examination as lobulated, serpentine, poorly demarcated lesion with septa, hypo- or isointense on T1-weighted sequences and hyperintense on T2-weighted sequences. Signal void rarely occurring, but characteristic, due to phleboliths

MRA Brain – AVM Studies Celeste A. Santos Midwestern State University Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Sciences Program RADS 4773 04/04/2017 Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are currently diagnosed and treatment plan is formulated by using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) (Machet, Portefaix, Kadziolka, Robin, Lanoix & Pierot, 2012). There are some drawbacks to DSA, amongst them is the cost, patient discomfort, contrast injection and radiation exposure (Dautry, Edjlali, Roca, Rabrait, Wu

evidence in order to help the patient and her family through a tough decision. This is the current situation, L.D. a 39-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital and the health care provider noticed that L.D. has a rare illness called Arteriovenous malformation (AVM). AVM is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins bypassing the capillary system. “They typically consist of two or more feeding arteries, a knot of abnormal vessels referred to as the ‘nidus’, and one or more veins (Machet

Lessons Learned Guarantees? I don’t think so. Imagine waking up one day to find that your perspective of life has changed. All that you thought would be real or a given in your world no longer existed. If we are the least bit wise we all know and accept that life will always carry risks. Expectations may be dashed in an instant. It all started the day my brain blew up. Really?! Not at 39, not when you are healthy and active, and certainly not when you provide hospice care for a living- no lessons

Treatment Options for children with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Parents of children diagnosed with AIS (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis) face difficult decisions when determining a course of treatment. The information received from the child’s doctor or orthopedist may be the only reference parents have to base decisions on. This may leave many unanswered questions regarding the child’s treatment, effects of treatment and long term quality of life after treatment. Like most parents, upon

Two hours into the trip, I received a call from Dr. Neuro #1’s office saying I was booked to see a neurosurgeon in Memphis, Tennessee, on Monday. Even though it was Thursday afternoon when the receptionist asked me if I could make the appointment, I said, “Yes.” I hung up and felt panic. How was I going to get from Florida to Memphis? I was wheelchair bound and had difficulty doing anything for myself. By this point, I had to eat with plastic forks and spoons because regular silverware was simply
