to enlarge often allows giant pouches to be diagnosed with almost no mass-related symptoms (Fig. 4.2). These huge pouches are therefore rarely directly responsible for symptoms in children as the adjacent brain is apparently capable of adapting to them. Neurological deficits and seizure activity may occur in relationship to these pouches in some pa­tients,and in our experience,this is nearly always associated with a spon­taneous partial thrombosis of the pouch. MRI at this point demonstrates an area of increased signal in the brain surrounding the pouch (Beren­stein 1992a; Lee and terBrugge 2003). It is of interest to note that the thrombosis of similar pouches induced by embolization does not pro­duce the same perilesional changes, nor does it produce deficit or seizures, as it also closes or reduces the flow through the AVF. These pouches can increase in size over time subsequent to the development of restriction of the downstream outlets.
4.2.2 Multiple CAVFs
AVFs can be single or multifocal if each fistulous communication harbors a distinctly separate vein draining each fistulous point (Fig. 4.3). Multi­plicity is a common feature of CAVFs in the pediatric age group and should raise the suspicion of associated or systemic conditions (see Sect. 4.3.1) (Fig.4.4).

MRI in coronal (A) and sagittal (B) views demonstrates large area of flow void along medial aspect of left temporal occipital lobe.Vertebral angiogram at 12 months of age in AP (C,D) and lateral (E,F) views demonstrates AVF fed by several branches of the left posterior cerebral artery all converging in to a sin­gle draining vein,which was dramatically enlarged, causing mass effect

Fig. 4.3A–H. A 23-month-old boy initially presented with a generalized seizure at the age of 1 year and subsequently developed headaches and left-sided weakness. T2W MRI axial views (A, B) demonstrated multiple tortuous signal voids along the lateral aspect of the right temporal lobe, which was atrophic and showed increased signal of white matter.Angiography of right internal carotid artery on lateral views (C, D) and left vertebral artery in AP (E) and lateral (F) views demonstrated seven arteriovenous fistulas, each draining into separate dilated veins.G, H At 15 months of follow-up,the morphological result was satisfactory but the child was severely handicapped
Series and case reports of multifocal lesions and unusual associations have been published (Reddy 1987; Rodesch et al. 1988; Schlater 1980; Smith et al. 1981; Willinsky et al. 1990a; Tamaki et al. 1971; Tada et al. 1986; Zellem and Buchheit 1985; Hoffman et al. 1976). Among 52 pedi­atric patients with AVFs, 23 (45%) had multiple AVFs ranging from one to seven per patient; three patients had both supra- and infratentorial loca­tions of the AVFs and one patient also had a spinal cord location in Yoshi­da’s series (Yoshida et al.2004; Weon et al. 2005).
The number of multifocal lesions in children, in our experience, is twice that of adults (17.2% vs 9%).Any variation of AV shunt can occur in the same patient, but we often find the same type of architecture in all sites in the same individual,i.e., multiple fistulas or multiple niduses.
Ta bles 4.1–4.3 summarize the characteristics of pediatric CAVFs in We on and Yoshida’s experiments.

4.3 Associated Conditions
4.3.1 Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) (previously called Rendu­Osler-Weber Disease) is a rare autosomal disorder,characterized by mul­tiple mucocutaneous and visceral telangiectasias (Fig. 4.5),giving rise to hemorrhagic complications in adulthood (MacAllister et al.1994).
Although autosomal dominant (chromosome 9q33-q34, long arm, the locus is named HHT1, a second genotype is located on chromosome 12q), HHT exhibits a cellular recessive pathology and requires inactiva­tion of the normal allele as the initiating event in the formation of a vas­cular lesion.Alternatively,the initiating event in the formation of a vascu­lar lesion might be damage to the vessel wall with associated failure to re­model normally.

Stage 1: episodic but spontaneously resolved bleeding requiring no specific treatment and often neglected by the patient. Stage 2: periodic bleeding sometimes following mechanical trauma (sneezing, blowing nose) requiring no more than one hospitalization per year and/or one blood transfusion, permitting normal professional life. Stage 3: frequent spontaneous bleeding requiring multiple hospitalizations and transfusions per year with incapacitation
Recent careful epidemiological studies in France,Denmark, andJapan, however, have revealed an incidence of 1 in 5,000–10,000 (Bideau et al. 1989; Kjeldsen et al. 1999; Dakeishi et al. 2002).The incidence was previ­ously reported at 1 or 2 in 100,000 (Guttmacher et al.1995). Three muta­tions altering the synthesis of endoglin have been found in affected indi­viduals, one substitution (CÆG: TAG code) and two deletions (nu­cleotide 882 and nucleotide 1553). Endoglin is a homodimeric integral membrane glycoprotein expressed on human endothelial cells of capil­laries, arterioles, and venules. The earliest event in the formation of telangiectasias appears to be dilatation of postcapillary venules. En­dothelial cells lacking endoglin respond poorly to transforming growth factor-b1 (TGF-b1) and form abnormal vessels, particularly in response to injury. Endoglin is the most abundant TGF-b-binding protein. TGF-b in vivo is a potent angiogenic factor and a mediator of vascular remodel­ing, as it controls extracellular matrix production by endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes. TGF-b is the prototype of a family of at least 25 growth factors that regulate growth, differentiation, motility, tissue remodeling, normal repair, and programmed cell death in many cell types. The locus heterogeneity in this disorder may be due to muta­tions within other members of the TGF-b receptor complex or other en- dothelial cell components of the TGF-b signal transduction pathway.
One could question whether the deficiency or immaturity of a similar protein fraction in non-HHT patients could cause the same type of AVM. We have never observed a new CNS AVF in follow-up of HHT patients and have rarely seen high-flow AVFs in adult HHT patients. This suggests that the inherited protein deficiency expresses itself only in AVF at an early age and differently later due to the various maturation processes in­volved and compensatory mechanisms.
Recurrent epistaxis, hemoptysis, melena, and genital bleeding are not uncommon manifestations in adults with HHT, but are rare in children (Aasar 1991; Boynton and Morgan 1973; Lasjaunias 1987; Willinsky et al. 1990a; Mahadevan et al. 2004b). Mucocutaneous telangiectasias and vis­ceral hemorrhagic complications are unusual in children; cerebral or spinal AVM may be the sole manifestation of HHT at this age.Our obser­vations correlate well with the literature, in which telangiectasias and mucosal hemorrhagic complications increase in frequency with age in patients with HHT (Fig. 4.6) (Table 4.4). In HHT patients, CNS AV mal-

formations conform to the usual AVF and AVM types (Boynton and Mor­gan 1973; Reddy 1987; Roman et al. 1978) and should be distinguished from telangiectasias. This suggests that AVMs represent either an associ­ated lesion or the early expression of the capillary-remodeling disorder in HHT. AVMs of the CNS are present in approximately 8% of patients with HHT (Reddy 1987). Multiplicity increases this likelihood signifi­cantly and Willinsky et al. (1990a) reported that 28% of patients with multiple CNS AV malformations had HHT (Fig. 4.7). Identification of multiple CAVMs should therefore lead one to suspect the possibility of HHT disorder. Garcia Monaco et al. (1995) reported five cases in which a CAVF was the initial manifestation of HHT disorder among 120 children with CAVMs. None of the children had mucocutaneous telangiectasias at clinical examination, but all of them had a strong family history of HHT. None of the children complained of a subjective bruit (pulsatile tinnitus), although an objective cranial bruit was perceived by auscultation in three of them, suggesting that the AVF was present at birth or shortly there­after. In two patients, the main symptoms were related to AVF rupture, but in three patients venous ischemic and congestive manifestations were found. All patients seen with HHT had one or several single-hole AVFs with a large venous ectasia; two of them also had a small nidus type of lesion demonstrated during the four-vessel work-up. No patients showed focal melting-brain syndrome,indicating the rapid subarachnoid drainage of the AVF and suggesting an explanation for the consistency of the venous pouches reported.
More recently,Mahadevan et al. (2004b) reviewed the Bicêtre experi­ence and noted that among 620 children with CAVM there were 23 (3.7%) patients with HHT disorder (Table 4.5). Significant differences in the
