  • The common vascular anomalies of cerebral aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation may exist independently, or together as part of a closely related hemodynamic pairing. Resection or embolization of an AVM may be followed by a decrease in local blood flow, and lead to regression of a suitably situated proximal aneurysm. However, aneurysms located outside the angioarchitecture of the AVM, which remain flow-unrelated to the malformation, will likely not regress, and may in fact enlarge. Two cases are presented which demonstrate these vascular relationships, in order to better understand the regional hemodynamics of these anomalies prior to surgical or endovascular treatment planning.

  • Vascular malformations of the brain and spine pose many management challenges. This text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the natural history, treatment options, and outcomes of patients with these conditions. Despite their relative rarity, these lesions are responsible for devastating injury to individuals and can cause an enduring physical, psychological, and economic burden on patients and families. Many new therapeutic options are now available with the advent of novel surgical, endovascular, and radiosurgical techniques. The basic sciences have fuelled development of small molecule and biologic therapies targeting the molecular basis of disease. Authored by international experts in the fields of neurosurgery, neurology, radiology, and radiation oncology, this book provides state-of-the-art treatment plans and discussions of ideal therapy. This text is aimed at practitioners in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, radiation oncology, rehabilitation medicine and allied fields who care for patients with brain and spinal vascular malformations.
