Radiosurgery was successful in the treatment of the majority of pediatric patients suffering from AVMs, and morbidity levels were minimal. The radiosurgery-based AVM grading scale accurately predicted these outcomes. Children whose AVMs are obliterated after radiosurgery should undergo repeated angiography after they reach adulthood to rule out the possibility of a recurrent nidus that would expose them to an ongoing risk of hemorrhage.

“…In another report, the annual incidence of symptomatic AVMs was 1.1 per 100000 and about one-in-five AVMs will present in children [ 16 , 36 ]. CNS AVMs are present in about 1/5000 children with no sex preference and represent about one sixth of AVMs in the general population [ 13 , 14 , 40 , 41 ].…”

Pediatric intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are challenging lesions managed by pediatric neurosurgeons. The high risk of hemorrhage and neurologic injury is compounded by the unique anatomy of each malformation that requires individualizing treatment options. This article reviews the current status of pediatric AVM epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical care, with a specific focus on the rationale and methodology of surgical resection.

“…154 -157 AVMs account for 30% to 50% of hemorrhagic strokes in children, 156,158,159 and pediatric patients are more likely to present with hemorrhage than adults, with some series reporting an 80% to 85% hemorrhage rate as their initial presentation. 154,160 Because of the large degree of arteriovenous shunting relative to cardiac output, neonates and infants can present in cardiac failure from arteriovenous shunting. [161][162][163][164][165][166] The remaining pediatric AVM patients present with seizures, headache, neurological deficit, or incidentally.…”
