Abstract

Objectives: Demonstration of surgical treatment results for hemorrhages associated with cerebellar arteriovenous malformation ruptures. Methods: A retrospective study of 31 patients who were diagnosed with cerebellar hemorrhage due to AVM and underwent surgery in Bach Mai hospital from January 2021 to January 2023. Results: 16M: 15F with mean age 38 (9-58 years old). Initial GCS 13-15 pts (51.6%), 9-12 pts (38.7%), <9 pts (9.7%). Pre-op embolization: 6/31 cases (19.4%). Craniotomy size depends on AVM location. Good results 25/31 cases (80.7%). Ventricular dilation persisted in two patients and CSF leakage in one. Conclusions: With hemorrhage of cerebellar AVM rupture, Pre-op embolization eliminates difficulties caused by accessed feeding arteries. Surgical outcome is favourable.
