Basal Temporal AVMs

Type: Clinical Summary

Temporal lobe arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are congenital vascular shunts that create high‑flow arteriovenous connections within the temporal lobe and can cause hemorrhage, seizures, focal neurologic deficits, or progressive neurologic decline. This review focuses on the microsurgical anatomy of the temporal lobe with emphasis on the basal temporal lobe, the arterial and venous supply relevant to basal temporal AVMs, a practical five‑type anatomical classification, and a stepwise surgical strategy for resection with outcomes data from a large surgical series. Overview Temporal lobe AVMs …
