ABSTRACT
The management of pediatric arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has evolved over the last two decades into a highly individualized treatment paradigm for the children diagnosed with these vascular anomalies. Urgent neurosurgical care and pediatric intensive care management are the backbone of the emergent management of the lesions at time of presentation, often with life-threatening hemorrhage and raised intracranial pressure. Once the patients have been stabilized, however, multidisciplinary care involving neurological surgery, interventional neuroradiology, and radiation therapy is required for the management and treatment of these sometimes incurable lesions to obtain the optimal result with a minimum risk of morbidity.
