Abstract

Supratentorial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are heterogeneous pathologic entities and require an intricate decision-making process for their management. We present 3 cases of supratentorial arteriovenous malformations with diverse clinical presentations and highlight the role of microsurgical resection in present-day multimodality treatments of arteriovenous malformations.

Keywords: Arteriovenous malformations; Operative; Supratentorial; Surgery.
