Subspecialty: Neurovascular
Type: Clinical Summary
The medial temporal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular lesions located in the deep structures of the temporal lobe, such as the uncus, parahippocampal gyrus, and hippocampus. They pose significant surgical challenges due to their inaccessibility and intricate arterial supply, primarily from the anterior choroidal artery (AChA) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA). This review encompasses the pathophysiology of medial temporal AVMs, their surgical strategies for resection, and nuances of the anatomy that affect treatment outcomes.
