Abstract
- Embolization of intracranial arteriovenous malformations has been mainly used for palliation of symptom, for preoperative management, or for patients who have large sized AVM planned for radiosurgery. But, it can be used as a sole, effective treatment modality in some selected cases. However, there have been many controversies about its completeness. Over the past 10 years, the authors experienced two cases of patients who have suffered from a recurrences of AVMs after embolization. The authors reviewed the literatures concerning about the recurrence of AVM after embolization and postulated the causes for recurrences of our two cases. In our opinions, complete embolic obliteration of cerebral AVM is impossible in most cases and embolization must not be used as a sole treatment modality of cerebral AVM.
