- Influence of Patient Age on Angioarchitecture of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
Over 800 AVMs were retrospectively reviewed to determine if clinical and angioarchitectural features varied between children and adults. The authors found that hemorrhages and exclusively deep venous drainage were more common in children but high-risk features such as venous ectasia and feeding artery aneurysm were more common in adults. Thus, these latter high-risk features may take time to develop.
