These are complex vascular malformations involving the brain and spinal cord causing life threatening haemorrhage, seizure disorders and paralysis at times. Historically they were very difficult to treat with limited surgical options with grave risks. Using interventional neuroradiology techniques many of these vascular malformations can be accesed and closed by using advanced small microcatheters and liquid embolic agents. These can be a single stage or multistage procedures or may be performed prior to surgery to reduce intraoperative bleeding.
