In terms of long-term survival rate and follow-up results, the patients who underwent total excision had more favorable results than did those treated conservatively. Patient age was the most important clinical factors, with the preoperative level of consciousness being the second most important. A grading system was formulated on the basis of the angiographical factors by using multiregression analysis; the size of the AVM influenced the surgical outcome twice as much as did the location and the pattern of arterial feeding. Thus, a large AVM (≥4 cm) was given 2 points; a small AVM ( |
