DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2020.04.073
Abstract: Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) have long been considered to be congenital, developing between the third and eighth weeks of embryogenesis. However, cases reporting their de novo formation suggest that these lesions can develop after birth… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.11.008
Abstract: BACKGROUND Brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs) are benign lesions, often show an acute onset, and result in a high rate of morbidity. Surgical resection could inhibit the progressive deterioration of neurologic function caused by repetitive hemorrhage.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.11.138
Abstract: Brainstem cavernous malformations are uncommon vascular lesions that require complex surgical approaches. The case described in this video involved a 23-year-old male who presented with repeated, symptomatic episodes of bleeding of pontomedullary cavernous malformation which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12883-021-02223-7
Abstract: Background Since the nineteenth century, a great variety of crossed brainstem syndromes (CBS) have been described in the medical literature. A CBS typically combines ipsilateral cranial nerves deficits to contralateral long tracts involvement such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2022.1.jns212690
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCMs) are complex, difficult to access, and highly variable in size, shape, and position. The authors have proposed a novel taxonomy for pontine cavernous malformations (CMs) based upon clinical presentation (syndromes)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2022.6.jns212907
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Anatomical triangles defined by intersecting neurovascular structures delineate surgical routes to pathological targets and guide neurosurgeons during dissection steps. Collections or systems of anatomical triangles have been integrated into skull base surgery to help… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2020.00789
Abstract: Background: Clinical management of patients with brainstem cavernous malformations (BSCM) is often challenging due to the unpredictable clinical course and lack of high-quality evidence. Nevertheless, radiologic follow-up is often performed routinely. The objective of this… read more here.
