- Abstract
The most important issue when dealing with a patient with a brain AVM is the decision whether to treat or not. Only after this decision has been made, taking into consideration a number of factors depending on both the patient and the specific type of AVM, can the best option for treatment be chosen. An operative classification of brain AVMs, previously adopted in the Department of Neuroradiology and Neurosurgery of Verona (Italy) and published in this journal, was subjected to validation in a consecutive group of 104 patients clinically followed for at least three years after completion of treatment. This classification, slightly modified from the original version concerning the importance of some specific items, allowed us to assess the indication to treat in each case, whatever type of treatment was offered to the patient.
