Abstract
Pediatric arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs) are rare, representing only 7.3-17.2% of all pediatric shunts.1 2 In a number of cases they can lead to life-threatening venous hypertension, hydrocephalus and macrocrania,3 heart failure,1 hemorrhagic stroke,4 5 seizures,3 and cognitive developmental issues.1-3 In selected circumstances, early and aggressive treatment is recommended.We present two cases of single-connection, high-flow PAVFs. Case 1 represents a mid-basilar PAVF treated through a transarterial approach, while case 2 represents a quadrigeminal cistern PAVF treated with several transarterial sessions followed by a final transvenous session. The procedures are shown in video 1 neurintsurg;17/11/1265/V1F1V1Video 1 Clinical cases demonstrating endovascular treatment of pediatric pial arteriovenous fistulas.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS) is a leading peer review journal for scientific research and literature pertaining to the field of neurointerventional surgery. The journal launch follows growing professional interest in neurointerventional techniques for the treatment of a range of neurological and vascular problems including stroke, aneurysms, brain tumors, and spinal compression.The journal is owned by SNIS and is also the official journal of the Interventional Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Neuroradiology (ANZSNR), the Canadian Interventional Neuro Group, the Hong Kong Neurological Society (HKNS) and the Neuroradiological Society of Taiwan.
