Description
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the neuropathological spectrum of all the surgically resected
vascular malformations of central nervous system.
Material & Methods: The present study was conducted at department of General Surgery for one year and
patients with neurological, neurosurgical, and psychiatric disorders were included. All VMs diagnosed in the
department of neuropathology over a period of 1 year were retrieved from the archives. The study included a total
of 100 cases of surgically resected VMs.
Results: Among 100 cases, CCMs were most common (44%), followed by AVMs (39%), capillary telangiectasia
(11%), venous angioma (2%), and AVFs (4%). Clinical presentation varied from focal deficit to features of raised
intracranial tension.
Conclusion: Imaging and histopathology plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of VMs.
Histopathological examination is essential for characterization of the VMs, which influences the prognosis
