September is AwarenessMonth. This sequence of illustrations was created for The article, “The future of open vascular neurosurgery: perspectives on cavernous malformations, AVMs, and bypasses for complex aneurysms” The article is free access: https://t.co/M3vKfDghtm

Watch as Dr. Cohen removes an arteriovenous malformation within eloquent cortices using the intranidal resection technique. This technique allows for maximal protection of vital structures around the nidus.

Temporal horn AVMs are technically challenging to tackle because the nidus is covering the feeding vessels emerging from the anterior choroidal artery within the choroidal fissure.

For ventricular body AVMs that extend lateral to the midline, a contralateral transcallosal route is favored to minimize ipsilateral hemispheric retraction.

“AVMs: What, how, why and when?”

There’s definitely no “who” in that title because of course it’s () and it’s only a week away!

Wednesday 29th Jan, 7pm, .

Get excited!

Illustration depicting the en bloc removal of a hemangioblastoma. The deep white matter feeders often present in AVMs are not present in hemangioblastoma resections, which aids in greatly simplifying the procedure.
