Abstract

Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are vascular abnormalities consisting of direct connections between arteries and veins, bypassing capillaries. Resection of AVMs is a technically challenging neurosurgical procedure, particularly when they are located near eloquent areas with a risk of severe neurological impairment. Neuromonitoring techniques including electroencephalography (EEG), somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP), and motor-evoked potential (MEP) can be used to facilitate and optimize surgery and minimize neurologic risk to the patient.
