PURPOSE: Tectum mesencephali arteriovenous malformations (TM-AVMs) are rare lesions deeply located close to eloquent structures making them challenging to treat. We aimed to present clinical presentation, angiographic features and treatment strategies of TM-AVMs through a single center retrospective case series.
METHODS: A TM-AVMs is defined as a nidus located in the parenchyma or on the pia mater of the posterior midbrain. Records of consecutive patients admitted with TM-AVMs over a 21-year period were retrospectively analyzed. Vascular anatomy of the region is also reviewed.
RESULTS: In this study 13 patients (1.63% of the complete cohort; 10 males), mean age 48 years, were included. All patients presented with intracranial hemorrhage and two patients (15%) died after an early recurrent bleeding. Mean size of the TM-AVMs was 10.1 ± 5 mm. Multiple arterial feeders were noted in every cases. Of the patients 11 underwent an exclusion treatment, 8 via embolization (6 via arterial access and 2 via venous access) and 4 via stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) (1 patient received both). Overall success treatment rate was 7/11 patients (64% overall; 63% in the embolization group, 25% in the SRS group). Two hemorrhagic events led to a worsened outcome, one during embolization and one several years after SRS. All other patients remained clinically stable or improved.
CONCLUSION: The TM-AVMs are rare but stereotypic lesions found in a hemorrhagic context. Multiple arterial feeders are always present. Endovascular treatment seems to be an effective technique with relatively low morbidity; SRS had a low success rate but was only use in a limited number of patients.
