Abstract

Spontaneous regression of a cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon. We present a case of unruptured cerebral AVM in a patient presenting with intermittent headache. In order to reduce hemorrhagic risk, the patient underwent partial embolization of the AVM with Onyx glue. Follow-up digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed complete obliteration of the residual AVM three months after the treatment. In conclusion, partial Onyx embolization of cerebral AVM may be an etiological factor of spontaneous regression. In order to reduce hemorrhagic risk, targeted partial embolization of the AVM may be an alternative treatment for some cases.

部分玛瑙栓塞引发脑AVM自发性消退1例

脑动静脉畸形(AVMs)的自发性消退是一种罕见且知之甚少的现象。我们提出一个病例未破裂的脑AVM在一个病人提出间歇性头痛。为了降低出血风险，患者接受了部分静脉动静脉的玛瑙胶栓塞。随访数字减影血管造影(DSA)显示治疗三个月后残余AVM完全闭塞。结论:脑动静脉畸形部分玛窦栓塞可能是其自发消退的病因之一。为了降低出血风险，对某些病例进行有针对性的静脉动静脉局部栓塞可能是一种替代治疗方法。
