Anatomic and angiographic findings of cerebellar XXXX : Report of a single center experience.

UNASSIGNED: @entity2758 ( @entity2758 ) are rare and comprise only 5-10% of @entity7026 . The concentration of eloquent neurological systems and the high rate of @entity548 presentation of AVMs particularly in this location complicate the management of such lesions. New therapeutic options, especially in endovascular neurosurgery, have fundamentally modified the strategy and, also, the outcome of cerebellar AVMs. Between 1995 and 2013, demographic, clinical and angiographic data of cerebral AVMs have been prospectively collected. We analyzed data of @entity1 treated for a cerebellar @entity2758 , focusing on the angiographic anatomy. Fifty-nine @entity1 (mean age : 35years, male to female ratio : 2) were consecutively treated for a cerebellar @entity2758 . 81.4% of them presented @entity548 at admission. 20 AVMs (33.9%) were in eloquent areas. The Spetzler-Martin grade was I or II in 36 cases (51%). An associated @entity439 was noted in more than 40% of cases and a @entity1211 in 70%. The vast majority of cases of this series presented an anatomical risk factor of @entity548 . @entity1 with cerebellar AVMs presented with @entity548 more often than @entity1 with supratentorial AVMs, justifying an aggressive management. The analysis of angio-architecture highlighted the high rate of associated @entity439 that could explain the tendency to bleed of such lesion.
