Abstract

The parietal interhemispheric approach employing gravity retraction with skeletonization of bridging veins provides an excellent operative window for safe, curative resection of splenial arteriovenous malformations.

What are some operative techniques that can be employed for the safe, curative resection of splenial arteriovenous malformations? The parietal interhemispheric approach employing gravity retraction with skeletonization of bridging veins provides an excellent operative window for microsurgical resection of these lesion (Figure 1, Video S1).1

Details are in the caption following the image
