摘要
The complexity of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain varies widely. In general, Spetzler-Martin grades I through III AVMs or those with certain high-risk features should be treated; grades IV through V AVMs often are best managed conservatively. The exact treatment strategy for any individual lesion should be formulated by a multidisciplinary team that includes experts in microsurgery endovascular surgery, and radiosurgery. Multimodal treatment is common. Microsurgical removal remains the definitive form of treatment.
