A Clinical Analysis of Multimodality Treatment of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations

摘要:目的: 评估手术、栓塞及γ刀综合治疗脑动静脉畸形的疗效。 方法 :回顾性分析了我科自2002年3月至2009年7月期间综合治疗的43例脑AVM患者,分析评估这43例脑AVM的临床特点及治疗效果,随访患者并对其进行GOS评分。 结果 :本组病例采取栓塞＋手术治疗3例、栓塞＋γ刀治疗26例、手术＋γ刀治疗11例、栓塞+手术＋γ刀治疗3例。术后随访28例,随访时间4月至7年6月,GOS评分5分者25例,患者均能重新回到工作或学校;GOS评分4分者2例,患者生活能够自理;GOS评分1分者1例,患者死亡。 结论 :对大型、功能区、有深部静脉引流的脑AVM综合治疗有一定的优越性,它不仅使脑AVM治愈率明显提高,而且与治疗相关的各种并发症和病死率也明显降低。Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of multimodality treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations(AVMs) with surgery, embolization and γknife radiation. Methods : A retrospective analysis of 43 cases of cerebral AVMs applied with multimodality treatment in our department From March 2002 to July 2009 has been made, meanwhile we have analyzed and assessed the clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of these 43 patients with cerebral AVMs. Results : Patients received multimodality treatment with embolization followed by surgery(n=3), embolization followed by γknife radiation(n=26), surgery followed by γknife radiation(n=11), or embolization, surgery, and γknife radiation(n=3). Postoperative followup of 28 cases, the followup time is 4 months to 7 years and 6 months. GOS score 5 in 25 cases, who can be able to return to work or school. GOS score 4 in 2 cases, who can be able to live independently. GOS score 1 in 1 case, who is dead. Conclusion : In the cerebral AVMs which are large, or located within or immediately adjacent to eloquent regions of the brain, or have deep venous drainage, multimodality treatment has some superiority. It can not only improve the cure rate of cerebral AVMs significantly, but also reduce the treatmentrelated complications and mortality.
