Abstract
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the ambient cistern are an extremely rare and complex subgroup of vascular malformation, representing a clinical challenge due to the deep-seated, highly eloquent anatomic location and the debilitating, life-threatening consequences related to hemorrhagic presentation and surgical morbidity. Ultimately, a tailored treatment, based on the presenting symptoms, AVM angioarchitecture, and annual risk of hemorrhage should be discussed among a multidisciplinary team to find the best individualized strategy balancing between the pros and cons of each approach. In Video 1, we present the case of a 60-year-old man with a hemorrhaged AVM of the right ambient cistern, present the pros and cons of each possible treatment strategy, and illustrate the successful resection of this lesion through a subtemporal-transtentorial microsurgical approach.
