  • Title: Resolution of central pain after embolization of an arteriovenous malformation. Case report.
    Author: Fukuhara T, McKhann GM, Santiago P, Eskridge JM, Loeser JD, Winn HR.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1999 Mar; 90(3):575-9. PubMed ID: 10067934.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a patient with right-sided central pain resulting from a left parietal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The AVM was treated with staged embolization and stereotactic radiosurgery, and its obliteration was documented on follow-up angiographic studies. Surprisingly, the patient noted complete resolution of her pain syndrome after embolization, which is an extremely rare result. Central pain and its proposed mechanisms are discussed.
