“…They lead to arteriovenous shunting of blood and cause surrounding neural tissue to become nonfunctional or calcified, which may contribute to the development of seizures and another neurological phenomena. [ 1 , 3 , 4 , 11 , 16 ] They represent about 10–15% of all vascular malformations of the central nervous system. In the posterior fossa, the majority of AVMs are located in areas such as the cavernous, sigmoid, or transverse sinus, whereas supratentorially, they can be located in the gyrus rectus region with high predilection for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).…”

Background: Gyrus rectus arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is one of the intricate pathologies that can lead to gyrus rectus hematoma. However, there is a paucity of research on this topic. This case series aims to delineate the characteristics of gyrus rectus AVMs, their outcomes, and treatment strategies. Methods: We enrolled five cases of gyrus rectus AVM that presented to the Neurosurgery Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. Patients with the presence of gyrus rectus AVM were analyzed according to the demographic data, clinical status, radiological imaging, and outcome. Results: Of the total cases enrolled, all five cases were ruptured at the presentation. Most of the AVMs had arterial feeders from the anterior cerebral artery (80%) and superficial venous drainage through the anterior third of the superior sagittal sinus occurred in four cases (80%). Two of the cases were classified as Spetzler-Martin grade 1 AVMs, two were grade 2, and one was grade 3. With regard to the modified Rankin Score (mRS), four of them had a score of 0 after observation for 30, 18, 26, and 12 months, respectively, while one patient had an mRS score of 1 after 28 months of observation. All five cases presented with seizure and were all treated by surgical resection. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the second report documenting the features of gyrus rectus AVMs and the first one from Iraq. Further, research into gyrus rectus AVMs is required to help better characterize and enhance our knowledge on the outcomes of such lesions.

“…Intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) fed by the ethmoidal artery is very rare, with only three cases of the nidus located in the brain parenchyma reported. 1,21,21) We describe a patient with in tracerebral hematoma caused by a left frontal AVM fed by the left anterior ethmoidal artery, associated with an unruptured right anterior choroidal artery aneurysm.…”

A 66-year-old male presented with a left frontal intracerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) fed by the anterior ethmoidal artery. The nidus was located intracerebrally, although the feeder was a dural artery, and was drained by the ascending frontal vein which showed varicose dilatation. The AVM was associated with an unruptured right anterior choroidal artery aneurysm. The AVM was removed and the aneurysm was clipped in a two-stage operation. The etiology of AVMs fed by the ethmoidal artery is still uncertain, but is probably due to a disturbance in normal embryonic develop ment. The association with aneurysm seemed to be incidental.

Embolization of the ophthalmic artery for control of epistaxis: Report of two cases

et al. 1992

Embolization of the internal maxillary artery, an accepted method for control of severe or recurrent posterior epistaxis, usually involves the ipsilateral artery, but occasionally the contralateral vessel and the facial arteries as well. Such endovascular treatment may fail if the vascular supply to the bleeding vessels originates in derivative branches of the ophthalmic artery. We report two unusual cases in which embolization of the ophthalmic artery was performed to control epistaxis. The first patient had a prosthetic eye. In the second, sight in one eye was sacrificed after careful consideration in order to prolong life.
