Combined approaches, including presurgical embolization, will de­pend on the availability of expertise in a given institution (Fig. 5.33).The number of postoperative epilepsy cases is high and could possibly be re­duced with presurgical embolization. An obvious indication for surgery is still the removal of large hematomas with an unstable clinical status or a lesion that cannot be reached by catheterization. Obviously, technical skills vary between individuals performing the embolization, as they do from one surgeon to another. In young patients,we favor the combination of embolization plus surgery, as the vulnerability to radiation is high in children.
5.7.2.2 Radiation Therapy
There are few reports of radiotherapy in this age group (Shin et al. 2002; Smyth et al. 2002).We have used radiation in combination with emboliza­tion after control of demonstrated weak portions of the lesions in a few cases (Figs. 5.28, 5.34) and exceptionally as the primary form of treat­ment (Fig. 5.35). Its indications in this age group are certainly limited. Among such indications, we have to consider are the nonfeasibility of other techniques, the maturation stage of the brain, and the risks associ­ated with conservative treatment.We tend to discuss radiation therapy in adolescents rather than young children in view of the risk involved on a maturing brain (Table5.10).
Some lesions such as hemorrhagic angiopathy, mimicking CAVM and presenting with subcortical hemorrhage, should be irradiated following angiography and possible targeted embolization (Fig. 5.36).On the other hand, proliferative angiopathies and most CAMSs should not be treated with radiation (Fig. 5.37), as eloquent brain is intermingled with the vascular spaces (see Chaps. 6 and 18,this volume).

B, D CT and angiography suggest hemorrhagic angiopathy,with typical subcortical nidus and small draining vein.Partial targeted embolization on the medial aspect of the nidus was done.

6.1 Introduction
As already stressed in the previous chapters,the generic name CAVM en­compasses various entities that, although treated with the same tools, are completely different disorders. The target and the timing of the primary impact are likely to provide some insight into the understanding of what were believed to be random associations of multiple AVMs. The histori­cal descriptions of cerebrofacial-associated lesions have resulted in the identification of classic syndromes: Wyburn-Mason, Bonnet-Dechaume­Blanc, Sturge-Weber, all of them involving the orbit (Fig. 6.1).
The condition of retinal arteriovenous malformation was first de­scribed by Magnus in 1874 and was long regarded as a mere ophthalmo­logical curiosity.In 1932,Yates and Payne described a patient with retinal and cerebral AVMs, but based on a single patient could not identify a syn­drome.An association between arteriovenous malformations of the face, retina,and brain was first recognized by Bonnet,Dechaume,and Blanc,in Lyon,France, who reported two cases in 1937. Six years later, at Queen Square in London, Wyburn-Mason reviewed all cases previously de­scribed and added nine further examples in a detailed study.The associ­ation of retinal, facial, and cerebral vascular malformations became known as Bonnet-Dechaume-Blanc syndrome in France and continental Europe, and as the Wyburn-Mason syndrome in the English literature. The degree of expression of the syndromes’components varies,both clin­ically and morphologically. Thus the most fully expressed cases have maxillofacial AVMs, in addition to the orbital and intracranial lesions, and are susceptible to life-threatening epistaxis or gingival bleeding in addition to the risks of blindness or cerebral hemorrhage. Some confu­sion has existed regarding the use of the two names, the term “Bonnet-
6Cerebrofacial Arteriovenous Metameric Syndrome
Dechaume-Blanc” sometimes being preferred for the more extreme end of the disease spectrum, which includes high-flow maxillofacial AVMs. Careful reading of the original articles,however, confirms that both syn­drome descriptions referred to the same condition.The two eponyms of the syndrome can thus be used interchangeably.The syndrome is usually classified together with the neurocutaneous syndromes or phakomatoses (neurofibromatosis, Divry-van Bogaert syndrome, Sneddon syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis). This classification, however, tells us more about our inclination to classify than about the nature of the condition itself, the various phakomatoses being of very different morphology and etiol­ogy. Unlike neurofibromatosis or tuberous sclerosis, an inherited basis for CAMS has never been described. This does not exclude this possibili­ty,but the absence of a family history with similar AVMs makes a lesion arising downstream from a germ-line disorder more likely.
Although a very rare condition, it still offers insight into the develop­ment of AVMs in general and the underlying segmental structure of the developing vasculature of the brain and face.Few descriptions of the syn­drome were made with full access to modern imaging techniques. More­over,other than the original descriptions (of nine and two cases) and two other reports of three and two cases, all the remaining descriptions were based on single case reports. In reviewing our series of 15 cases, Bhat­tacharya et al. (2001) derived new diagnostic criteria as an aid to diagno­sis. Underlying patterns of involvement reflecting the segmental nature of the cerebrofacial structures were found,supporting a disorder of neur­al crest development (Fig. 6.2).When comparing our findings with previ­ously published cases, we propose a new rationale for the classification of the syndromes.

The segmentation, under the control of the hox genes, of the rhombencephalon into rhombomeres (Orr 1887) and forebrain an­lage into prosomeres (Lumsden 1989) has been substantiated in birds, mice,and other animals and extrapolated to humans (Puelles and Ru­binstein 1993). Following Le Douarin’s (1997) introduction of the quail-chick chimera system in 1969, which provides a system for la­beling cells in avian embryos and then following their migration to their definitive sites, studies revealed the metameric nature of brain and craniofacial structures deriving mainly from the neural crest and plate.The initial process of vessel formation in the embryo,known as
