CAMS 3 has been very infrequently described and involves the mid­brain, cerebellum, petrous bone, and mandible (Theron et al. 1974; Fis­chgold et al. 1952; Tamaki et al. 1971; Wong et al. 2003; Haw et al. 2003). CAMS 3 is located in a strategic position at the crossroads of the complex cephalic segmental arrangements and the relatively simplified spinal metamers,and it may therefore bear transitional characteristics with fea­tures shared by either end of the spectrum.In the review of spinal arteri­ovenous malformations syndromes (SAMSs), Matsumaru et al. (1999) showed that vertebral lesions and radicular lesions occur in 42% and 21% of cases, respectively. It appears that in SAMS, there is a high propensity

of lesions in sclerotomal mesenchymal aggregates around the notochord underlying the developing spinal cord.The lesion in the petrous bone in one of our cases showed that a similar phenotype can be exhibited in CAMS 3. On the other hand, the main targets for osseous involvement of CAMS 1, 2 are the maxillary structures, with apparent sparing of the corresponding skull base (ethmoid and sphenoid).
The rostral part of the notochord reveals many peculiarities in com­parison to the trunk mesoderm, including a wide variation in the re­lationship of notochord with prechordal mesoderm in different species (Barteczko and Jacob 1999). During development of the cranial base, primordial cartilage develops from mesenchymal cell aggregates, which extend cephalad. The otic capsules, destined to develop into petromastoid temporal bones,are located directly later­al to the parachordal cartilage, which are the precursors for the future basiocciput. The parachordal cartilage intimately surrounds the rostral end of the notochord (Sperber 1989). In comparison, the pre­chordal mesenchymal centers for the facial skeleton are more distal and cephalic to the rostral notochord.The rare skull base involvement in CAMS 1, 2 might possibly be explained by the relatively remote location of prechordal mesenchymal centers in comparison with the otic capsules and the parachordal cartilage with respect to the noto­chord.
The presence of an AVM surrounding the left vestibulocochlear nerve (subarachnoid location) in one of our patients sheds light on the transi­tional nature of CAMS 3. In CAMS 1, 2 patients, previous reports men­tioned only the optic nerve as the “cranial nerve”being affected. It is im­portant to note that the retina and optic nerve are direct extensions of the forebrain, projecting directly from the optic vesicle.This significantly dif­fers from other cranial nerves,which basically are peripheral nerves link-

ing the central nervous system to the peripheral tissues. The lesions in­volving the retina, optic nerve, and chiasm,in cases of CAMS 1, 2,should therefore be regarded fundamentally as pial AVMs.On the contrary,a sig­nificantly higher proportion of cases of SAMS (21% from Matsumaru’s series) have lesions along radicular nerves within the subarachnoid space, reflecting a basic difference in selection of compartmental loca­tion.The cause of such diversity is not understood, but this may be relat­ed to the different influences of abluminal and intraluminal factors at the spinal vs the cranial levels or the difference in their embryonic origin. The topography of vascular malformations of CAMS 1, 2 appears to fol­low the same rule governing the location of sporadic AVMs,in that nidi of the AVMs reside only within the subpial compartment, with the sub­arachnoid space spared. The occurrence of subarachnoidal AVMs in CAMS 3 possibly suggests a transitory process toward the spinal distrib­ution (Wong et al.2003).
6.2 Clinical Manifestations
The commonest presenting symptom is visual deterioration (reduced acuity or field). This is sometimes detected several years before further neurological symptoms lead to more detailed investigations (CT, MRI), confirming the presence of a retinal AVM but also revealing an associat­ed brain AVM. Epistaxis is encountered in patients in whom the present­ing cause is the associated high-flow maxillofacial AVM. In the Bhat­tacharya et al. (2001) series,25% of the patients suffered from a intracra­nial hemorrhage (at 4, 6, 23, and 49 years of age) related to their brain AVM, and none of the brain AVMs was considered curable.It is important to note that only one-third of the patients were recorded as having any facial involvement (although this was a retrospective study, and such involvement could have been overlooked or not recorded).
There is no evidence to suggest an inherited basis of CAMS and there are also no reports in the literature of brain or orbital AVMs occurring among family members of CAMS patients. It has been intriguing, how­ever, to find other cerebrofacial vascular lesions in close relatives in two out of our 15 patients with CAMS.
6.2.1 Retinal AVMs and AVMs Along the Optic Nerve and Chiasm
6.2.1.1 Retinal AVMs
Retinal AVMs are present in most CAMS patients, but there are some re­ported cases without retinal involvement (Bhattachaya et al. 2001; Ponce et al. 2001; Maeda et al. 1992) (Table 6.2). Jiarakongmun et al. (2002) found among 14 CAMS 2 cases,nine patients with retinal AVMs, and sug­gested screening including ophthalmologic examination with visual field testing, visual acuity, and fluorescein angiography for patients suspected of having CAMS.

visual acuity
Progressive visual loss, including decreased visual acuity and visual field defects, appears to be the earliest presenting symptom of CAMS 2 disease, which tends to occur several years prior to the discovery of the retinal lesions.Bhattacharya et al. (2001) showed 60% cases of CAMS pa­tients presented with visual symptoms at a mean age of 18 years.The reti­nal arteriovenous malformation or arteriovenous communications of the retina (AVCR),or so-called racemose hemangioma in the ophthalmolog­ical literature,is probably a misnomer because it does not show prolifer­ative or tumor behavior. According to Archer’s classification, grade III AV CR is the most severe form and is often linked with an intracranial lesion or CAMS (Meinhold 1996).
Retinal AVMs or AVCR, are usually considered to be stable retinal le­sions, despite progression of the coexisting intracranial AVMs (Yasuhara et al. 1999).Clinical presentations of this lesion include loss of vision due to intraretinal macular hemorrhage, central and peripheral retinal vein occlusion, and vitreous hemorrhage, or even gradual reduction of vision due to neovascular glaucoma in association with changes in the retinal AVMs and retinal and choroidal ischemia (Effron et al.1985).
6.2.1.2 Optic Nerve and Chiasmatic AVMs
Optic nerve and chiasmatic AVMs are also hallmark findings in CAMS. They often appear to be clinically silent, eventually resulting in a slowly progressive functional deficit. The presenting symptoms include de­creased visual acuity and field defects or blindness from optic nerve atro­phy,and progressive dysfunction of the optic pathways.
Exophthalmos is a rare presenting symptom in CAMS,with optic nerve AVMs and intraorbital congestion resulting in mass effect, as reported by Fujita et al.(1989), Muthukumar and Sundaralingam (1998),and in one of the cases of Jiarakongmun et al.(2002) (Fig. 6.8). Exophthalmos could al­so result from an enlarged ophthalmic vein, which may drain normal brain tissue or cerebral AVMs related to increased intracranial venous pressure caused by venous occlusion of draining intracranial veins.
Tr eatment of these orbital lesions remains a challenge because of the complex anatomic and hemorrhagic characteristics of the malformation. Attempts to treat these patients with combined surgery and careful pre­operative embolization are not without risk (Goldberg et al.1993).
6.2.2 Cerebral AVMs
Considered as a metameric lesion,intracranial AVMs in CAMS are one of the most common findings in such patients.We found cerebral AVMs in three-quarters of our cases. The cerebral AVMs in CAMS may involve in continuity the optic chiasm, hypothalamus, thalamus, the cortex around a calcarine fissure or the cerebellum,depending on the subtype of CAMS (1, 2, or 3). Infrequently they present as multiple scattered lesions in the same segmental distribution. The corpus callosum or the olfactory region belong to CAMS 1 arrangement and should be associated with midline frontonasal vascular malformations (Figs. 6.11,6.12).
6Cerebrofacial Arteriovenous Metameric Syndrome376
Considering the angioarchitecture of cerebral AVMs in CAMS, we ob­served that there were certain findings in cerebral AVMs in CAMS, which tend to differ from sporadic AVMs. In particular,the AVM nidus in CAMS patients is usually described as a cluster or group of small vascular net­works with intervening normal brain tissue and optic pathways and some degree of angiogenesis. Transdural arterial supply was present in some cases (Fig. 6.13). There are no reported cases of intradural high-flow arte­riovenous fistulas (AVFs) or related findings of high-flow shunts such as dysplastic flow-related arterial aneurysms or hugely dilated draining veins, as we often seen in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Rendu­Osler-Weber disease).
Progressive development and enlargement of cerebral AVMs is one of the special observations in CAMS (Figs. 6.7, 6.13, 6.14) Yasuhara et al. (1999) also reported similar observations with a progressive increase in size and flow of the cerebral AVM with worsening neurological deficit.

These findings suggest that AVMs in CAMS are not static processes with­in the segment that carry the embryonic defect.
Multifocality and the continued progression of the expression of the disease are characteristic of cerebral AVMs in CAMS, with lesions along the visual pathways. Usually lesions are located in one hemisphere, but there are some reports of bilateral involvement. Angiogenesis crossing the midline could be related to ischemia of the midline structures from chiasmatic or hypothalamic AVMs; however,bilateral neural crest migra­tion exists (as seen with mirror aneurysms) and may not be restricted to one side but expressed in separate but adjacent segments.
Despite the common occurrence of cerebral AVMs in CAMS, they are usually clinically silent or asymptomatic at the time of discovery. They rarely present with acute neurological symptoms caused by intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage (Bhattachaya et al. 2001),but rather reveal with progressive neurological deterioration without evidence of intracra­nial bleeding (Jiarakongmun et al.2002).
