Abstract

The introduction of high-field, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and recent advances in the field of superselective neuroangiography have significantly improved the neuroradiologic evaluation of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and contributed to a more profound understanding of their angioarchitectural and hemodynamic features. In turn, this recently accumulated knowledge has influenced the indications, goals, and techniques of embolization of brain AVMs. This paper summarizes our experience with the use of high-field MRI, superselective angiography, and embolization in assessment and treatment of 108 patients with brain AVMs between 1986 and 1990, and reviews the recent literature on the subject.
