Disease relevance of Central Nervous System Vascular Malformations

• Incidental discovery of a dural arteriovenous fistula in a patient with activated protein C resistance [1].
• In order to reduce the recanalization rate of arteriovenous malformations and multiple dural arteriovenous fistulas, embolization was carried out with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles combined with platinum fibre coils in 20 patients [2].
• She developed sigmoid sinus thrombosis and a transverse/sigmoid sinus dural arteriovenous fistula 11 months after this and was found to have protein S deficiency [3].

High impact information on Central Nervous System Vascular Malformations

• Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula localization with a technique of first-pass gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography: initial experience [4].
• Subsequent to the exposure of the vascular complex, a 1-ml injection of indigo carmine (2 mg/ml) clearly demonstrated the feeding arteries and the draining veins around the AVM or dural arteriovenous fistula [5].
• Association of resistance to activated protein C and dural arteriovenous fistulas [6].
• Of 11 intradural veins draining dural arteriovenous fistulas, three were identified on coronal 2-D acquisitions and six on coronal 3-D acquisitions as vessels that coursed from a neural foramen to a midline tangle of vessels [7].
• Embolization of spinal dural arteriovenous fistula with polyvinyl alcohol particles: experience in 14 patients [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Central Nervous System Vascular Malformations

• A case is reported of a 66 year old woman presenting with perimesencephalic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) which was caused by a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula at the C1 level [9].
• We treated a 73-year-old man with a dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) with cortical venous drainage of the left mastoid region using transarterial embolization of the middle meningeal and occipital arteries with n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) [10].

Anatomical context of Central Nervous System Vascular Malformations

• CASES: The patients had two asymptomatic dural arteriovenous fistulas of the cervicomedullary junction fed by the left posterior meningeal artery and draining to the dilated coronal venous plexus and the radiculomedullary vein [11].

Gene context of Central Nervous System Vascular Malformations

• Our aim was to correlate concentrations of circulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and serum soluble angiopoietin receptor (sTIE-2) before and after endovascular treatment with the grading in human dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) [12].
• Plasma vascular endothelial growth factor and serum soluble angiopoietin receptor sTIE-2 in patients with dural arteriovenous fistulas: a pilot study [12].
• Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula: the role of PVA embolization [13].
• PURPOSE: Source images from three-dimensional time-of-flight MR angiography (3D TOF MRA) are useful for the diagnosis of cavernous dural arteriovenous fistulas [14].
• Immunohistochemical study in dural arteriovenous fistula and possible role of ephrin-B2 for development of dural arteriovenous fistula [15].
