  • Title: Nationwide survey of pediatric intracranial arteriovenous shunts in Japan: Japanese Pediatric Arteriovenous Shunts Study (JPAS).
    Author: Terada A, Komiyama M, Ishiguro T, Niimi Y, Oishi H.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Pediatr; 2018 Nov 01; 22(5):550-558. PubMed ID: 30052118.
    Abstract:
    The authors performed a nationwide study in Japan to evaluate the annual detected rate of pediatric intracranial arteriovenous (AV) shunts such as brain AV malformations (BAVMs), pial AV fistulas (PAVFs), vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAMs), and dural AV fistulas (DAVFs). These rates were revealed for the first time and showed that VGAM, DAVF, and PAVF were relatively common but that BAVMs were extremely rare in neonates and infants.
