ABSTRACT
The location of a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an important predictor not only of surgical outcome (eloquent location or not) (1), but also of the risk of future hemorrhage (superficial or deep location) (2). Deep-seated AVMs have a higher risk of future hemorrhage compared with AVMs located superficially (2). AVMs of the corpus callosum are one of the deep-seated brain AVMs (2). Despite the potential morbidity risk of these AVMs, they remain poorly understood. In this chapter, we review the available literature on the epidemiology, morphological characteristics, and management of AVMs of the corpus callosum and discuss our own experience with these lesions.
