Abstract
- An AVM located in or adjacent to the sylvian fissure is one of the most difficult to remove because it is surrounded by critical structures such as the basal ganglia and internal capsule and it involves the middle cerebral artery. We have operated on 6 cases of arteriovenous malformation(AVM) in and around the sylvian fissure. We describe the characteristic features of these AVMs from the anatomical and surgical points of view. The surgical results were satisfactory in 5 cases, and 1 patients died.
