摘要

Purpose

To discuss the role of surgical revascularization (SR) in inoperable deep-seated brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) to treat ischaemic symptoms owing to cerebral hypoperfusion from vascular steal in paediatric patients with vascular steal phenomenon.

Methods

We discuss the management of two children with high-grade deep-seated bAVMs who underwent indirect SR with encephalo-duro-arterio-myo-synangiosis (EDAMS) and superficial temporal artery (STA) pial synangiosis. Long-term clinical and radiological follow-up were presented.

Results

Both children aged 11 and 14 years with deep-seated basal ganglia/thalamic bAVMs (Spetzler Martin 5, Lawton-Young Supplemented Score 8 who presented with ischaemic-related symptoms (progressive motor deficit). There were no ischaemic lesions evidenced on the MRI. EDAMS with STA pial synangiosis was performed with marked improvement of the progressive and fluctuating symptoms. At 2-year follow-up, angiogram showed satisfactory revascularization from the STA graft to the hypoxemic peri-Rolandic territories. Both patients presented stabilization of clinical symptoms up to 4-year follow-up after IR. There was no evidence of haemorrhage, ischaemia or bAVM progression on follow-up imaging.

Conclusion

SR using indirect techniques may have a role in the management of inoperable deep-seated bAVMs with symptoms due to vascular steal phenomena. The successful revascularization of these cases may also provide evidence to support the hypothesis of vascular steal phenomenon in rapid shunting bAVM causing a local perinidal hypoxemia and neural damage.
