ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the cerebral and spinal cord pediatric malformations; we particularly describe three of them Vein of Galen arteriovenous Malformation, Pial Arteriovenous Malformation, and Dural Sinus Malformation. We report the experience of Bicêtre since 1981 to 2003, with 317 VGAM, 302 Pial AVM and 30 DSM. We describe natural history, clinical and imaging features, endovascular management and the clinical and morphologic results. The clinical consequences of the VGAM and Pial AVM are systemic or cerebral. When they are cerebral they are mainly from hydrovenous type, as melting brain, or chronic hydrocephalus with calcifications and seizures. Depending of their angioarchitecture and amount of arteriovenous shunt, their gravity and the time of revealing are variable. Pial AVM, they carry the risk of hemorrhage, unlike VGAM. The presence of a fistula type should lead to suspect hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. The main risk of DSM is hemorrhage due to thrombosis of the malformation, more than hydrovenous disorders. In VGAM, we obtain the complete cure of the shunt in 55% of case, and reduction of more than half of the shunt in 93.8%. Seventy-four percent of treated cases had a normal neurologic examination. DSM have a worse prognostic, and mortality is 38% despite treatment.
