Abstract
Two cases of AVM [arteriovenous malformations] situated in the pallido-caudal area and directly nourished by the anterior perforated space arteries were investigated using 3 angiographic techniques: selective internal carotid angiography, angiotomography including pneumoencephalography and angiography under deep hypotension at 30 mm Hg (mean pressure) induced by sodium nitroprusside. Both AVM were radically removed using the retrograde technique under deep hypotension and the operative microscope. Both patients are alive without additional neurological deficit.
