Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how often patients with convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) linked to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) experience intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), recurrent cSAH, and ischemic strokes.
- Researchers analyzed data from 190 patients aged around 74.5 years, finding significant risks for ICH (13.2%), recurrent cSAH (11.1%), and overall vascular events (21.4%) during a median follow-up of 1.4 years.
- Results indicated that patients with probable CAA had a much higher risk of ICH and cSAH compared to those with possible CAA, although no increased risk for ischemic stroke or
Background: Brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) is a life-threatening vascular congenital malformation due to the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. The formation of a spontaneous cyst within a BAVM, without history of hemorrhage or gamma knife surgery, is rare and has an unknown pathophysiology. We suggest a novel theory of spontaneous cystic BAVM formation, subsequently treated with endovascular embolization followed by surgery with a favorable long-term outcome.
