Abstract
- The authors had seven patients with arteriovenous malformation(AVM) of the corpus callosum of which five involved the genu and/or the body and two occupied the splenium. The common presenting features were headache and neck stiffness due to bleeding from the malformed vessels. The AVMs of the corpus callosum are supplied mainly by pericallosal arteries and occasionally branches of the posterior cerebral artery, the damage is by septal veins, the internal cerebral veins and the superior sagittal sinus. There was only minimal morbidity without operative mortality due to radical excision of these AVMs with microsurgical technique.
