Abstract

Pediatric brain arteriovenous malformations are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with the harmful effects of this disease compounded by the additional disability-years experienced by children with ruptured or other symptomatic arteriovenous malformations. In addition to the risks shared with their adult counterparts, pediatric patients frequently experience recurrence following radiographic cure, which presents an additional source of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, there is a need to synthesize potential mechanisms contributing to the elevated recurrence risk in the pediatric population and discuss how these translate to practical considerations for managing these patients.
