Coexistence of moyamoya syndrome with arteriovenous malformation. Systematic review and illustrative case report.

The coexistence of Moyamoya Syndrome with Arteriovenous Malformation is exceedingly rare. Here, we present the case of a 37-year-old female patient diagnosed with AVM in the right parietal lobe, accompanied by severe stenosis of the right middle cerebral artery and right anterior cerebral artery, along with moyamoya collateral induction. Our objective was to investigate the frequency and mutual influence of these conditions, and to determine a preferable treatment strategy by conducting a comprehensive review of previous case reports.

Sporadic multiple cerebral arteriovenous malformations: case report and systematic review of additional 80 cases.

Introduction: In absence of hereditary diseases multiple brain arteriovenous malformations are extremely rare. The case series that would include more than 13 patients are unlikely to be found, which causes an obstacle to comprehensively analyzing the peculiarities of epidemiology, symptoms and treatment options for this disorder. We describe patent with two independent arteriovenous malformations in frontal and parietal lobes that have been treated with combination of preoperative embolization, surgical excision and stereotactic radiosurgery.

Sixteen years progress in recanalization of chronic carotid artery occlusion: A comprehensive review.

Objective: Although chronic carotid artery occlusion seems to be associated with significant risk of ischemic stroke, revascularization techniques are neither well established nor widespread. In contrast, extracranial-intracranial bypass is common despite the lack of evidence regarding neurological improvement or prevention of ischemic events. The aim of current review is to evaluate the effectiveness of various methods of recanalization of chronic carotid artery occlusion.

Predictive Value of Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation Assessment in Surgical Management of Patients with High-Grade Carotid Artery Stenosis.

Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (DCA) capacity along with the degree of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and characteristics of the plaque can also play an important role in selection of appropriate treatment strategy. This study aims to classify the patients with severe ICA stenosis according to preoperative state of DCA and to assess its dynamics after surgery. Thirty-five patients with severe ICA stenosis having different clinical type of disease underwent reconstructive surgery.
