Excerpt

Most cerebral vascular malformations (CVMs) are arteriovenous in composition and visible using angiography [1]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are the gold standard imaging modalities for the evaluation and diagnosis of CVMs [2]. CVMs that are not visible on DSA are known as angiographically occult cerebral vascular malformations (AOVMs) [3]. These include capillary telangiectasias, cavernous angiomas, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and intravenous vascular malformations [1]. …
