 Arterial venous malformation and surgical treatment
About the disease and its definition: arterial venous malformations are defects affecting the circulatory system in the body, the circulatory system consists of arteries, veins and capillaries that link between arteries and veins. It consists distortions arterial venous of a complex network of arteries and veins; They impede blood circulation in the affected limb, can occur distortions arterial venous anywhere, but those that are in the brain or spinal cord can have effects such as epileptic seizures or headaches. However, most of the people who have arterial and venous malformations in the brain and spinal cord do not suffer from any significant symptoms, or have mild symptoms. Still cause arterial venous malformations is not known, however, they seem to appear during pregnancy or shortly after birth. However, the biggest risk for arterial venous malformations is bleeding. The treatment can take place arterial venous malformations through surgery or radiotherapy unit. A glimpse anatomical brain is the control center of the body. There is the brain inside the skull, which is protected. The brain is fed by numerous blood vessels. Divided arteries coming into the brain from the heart to the arteries usually smaller. This is divided into small arteries to capillaries in turn, or to the very small blood vessels, allowing the delivery of oxygen to the brain. Then meets capillaries together to form a larger rosettes, in turn, meet together to form veins. These veins and restore blood to the heart. Arterial venous malformations consists of a network of abnormal blood vessels, which can relate to the arteries veins directly without the intervention of the smaller blood vessels. Swell sometimes swelling of blood vessels abnormally, resulting in aneurysms. Symptoms of arterial venous malformations and their causes may result in arterial venous malformations or aneurysms accompanying her to the emergence of pressure on the brain, resulting in effects such as epileptic seizures, weakness, loss of vision and other neurological symptoms. The flow of blood in the arterial venous malformation very strong, pushing the blood toward the deformation mentioned instead of going to the area of ​​the brain surrounding it. This may cause symptoms similar to obtaining stroke. This condition is known as "the phenomenon of theft", because the deformation steals blood needed from the area surrounding the brain. May result in arterial venous malformation, or aneurysm accompanying him to a cerebral hemorrhage or bleeding around the brain or so. Moving a large proportion of people who suffer from this kind of bleeding into the role of care for the rest of their lives because of the problems get very nervous. Can detect arterial venous malformation in during a photo class centrality of the brain or MRI after obtaining the symptoms listed above, or for other reasons. Magnetic resonance imaging shows arterial venous malformation with blood all interlocking. The treatment of arterial venous malformations can be treated arterial venous malformation in many different ways. The surgery is the only treatment that solves the problem immediately and with certainty, and reduce the chances of bleeding in the future. The arterial venous malformations respond in small places difficult for radiotherapy are relatively inaccessible in the brain. Radiation therapy leads to blockage of the blood vessels and reduce the incidence of bleeding. But that does not always happen. More importantly, the blockage of blood vessels take between a year and a half to two years. During that time, the brain is not protected from the risk of bleeding. Can result in radiation therapy and also the potential risk to strokes near the arterial venous malformation. To show the anatomy of arterial venous malformation better, angiogram performed normally. This picture is being examined through injection or shady colored material in the blood vessels of the brain. If the doctor decided to perform surgery to remove arterial venous malformations, will try radiologist who is filming the vessels fill part of the vascular small molecules or special glue. This is known as part of the procedure's vascular as "Alasmam." This helps to reduce the flow of blood to the arterial venous malformations, and facilitates surgery eradicated. Surgical treatment of arterial venous malformations help surgery to eradicate arterial venous malformations and install forceps own blood associated with them, if any, to reduce the risk of bleeding in the future. Installing forceps own blood to isolate it from the bloodstream, begins to shrink. This procedure prevents bleeding overtime, and removes the pressure from the surrounding area of ​​the brain also. The aim of this process is not in itself to reverse the effect of any bleeding has occurred previously. It aims to prevent any bleeding last. The operation consists of open surgical dissection and skull deformity arterial venous and very carefully separated from the surrounding area of ​​the brain, and then install the forceps own blood accompanying him. If this distortion may already bleeding, conducted remove the clot. Usually shave hair from the head area, which will take place where the operation, before the skin incision. And are open holes in the skull and directed piece of them. It is then on to the cover of the brain, and the eradication of arterial venous malformation and install tweezers mothers blood, if they exist. At the end of the process, is re-widget that drove out to the place of the skull, and then closes the skin. The doctor will tell the patient about the time which will remain in the hospital. This time depends on several factors, such as the patient's age and state of health
