Arterio-venous malformations in childhood: Clinical presentation, results after operative treatment and long-term follow-up
1989
In a series of 182 arterio-venous malformations (AVM) recently published [8] we found 33 children aged 1 to 16 years. In 28 cases, the admitting condition was hemorrhage. For 31 AVMs total excision was possible. We observed one postoperative death accounting for a mortality of 3%. All children but two were followed-up by personal examination. Two were not able to work due to severe neurological deficits and seven had not been able to get into their intended occupation.
