A craniotomy for intracranial vascular malformations is a neurosurgical procedure performed to remove vascular malformations which are considered high risk for rupture or produce neurologic symptoms.

Overview

Background

  • Intracranial vascular malformations are congenital defects
  • Typically present in young adulthood (most commonly 15-40 years old)
  • Wide anatomic variability[1]
    • High-flow arteriovenous malformations (AVM)
    • Low-flow angiographically occult vascular malformations (AOVM)
      • Cavernous malformations
      • "Cryptic" AVMs
      • Capillary telangiectasias
      • Transitional malformations
    • Low-flow venous angiomas

Indications

  • The Spetzler-Martin AVM grading system estimates morbidity and mortality of surgery[2]
