There is no consensus in the treatment strategy of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) associated with brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM). In particular, it is unknown if a more aggressive approach should be considered in patients harboring a BAVM, in whom multiple aneurysms or a history of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is present.
We report on an elderly woman harboring multiple aneurysms with a history of SAH due to rupture of an unrelated IA. On evaluation, she was also found to harbor a contralateral, left parietal convexity BAVM. Following resection of the latter, spontaneous regression of two large flow-related aneurysms was encountered.
We discuss the therapeutic decision-making, risk stratification, and functional outcome in this patient with regard to the pertinent literature on the risk of hemorrhage in IAs associated with BAVM.
对于与脑动静脉畸形(BAVM)相关的颅内动脉瘤(IA)的治疗策略,目前尚无共识。特别是,对于患有BAVM且存在多个动脉瘤或有动脉瘤性蛛网膜下腔出血(aSAH)病史的患者,是否应考虑采取更积极的治疗方法尚不清楚。
我们报告了一名老年女性,她有多个动脉瘤,因无关的IA破裂而有SAH病史。经评估,还发现她对侧左顶叶凸面存在BAVM。在切除后者后,两个与血流相关的大动脉瘤出现了自发消退。
我们结合关于与BAVM相关的IA出血风险的相关文献,讨论了该患者的治疗决策、风险分层及功能结局。
