Abstract
This study conducts an in-depth analysis of the management of a complex arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a 44-year-old individual, who initially manifested with acute left hemiparesis and progressively declined into a comatose state. Diagnostic neuroimaging identified a substantial right fronto-temporal intraparenchymal hematoma via a CT scan. Cerebral angiography further elucidated a choroidal AVM originating from the anterior choroidal artery, accompanied by intranidal aneurysms. The elected treatment strategy was the surgical excision of the AVM. The procedure achieved complete removal of the intracranial AVM, situated in a neurologically sensitive region, leading to notable neurological recovery. This study thoroughly explores and critically evaluates a wide spectrum of treatment approaches for intracranial arteriovenous malformations, including novel endovascular therapies. Despite extensive discourse on AVM in contemporary literature, this report is among the few documenting the treatment of a choroidal AVM via a microsurgical technique, and highlights various therapeutic options.
