First-line treatment option was the microsurgical resection of the pathology, with or without preoperative embolization.RESULTS: 24 males (52.2%) and 22 females (47.8%) with a mean age on admission of 12.4 years (4-18 years) were included. Mean follow-up was 4 years (median 1.5; range 0.1-16.4). 31 children presented with intracerebral hemorrhage (67.4%). Small AVMs (<3 cm) ruptured in 83.3% (n=25) and were shown to be more prone to hemorrhage than larger ones (p<.01). Small AVM size (p<.01; OR .12; 95% CI .02, .59) and exclusive deep venous drainage (p<.01; OR 29.74; 95% CI 2.45, 4445.34) were independent risk factors for hemorrhage in the presented cohort.
