    Giant diffuse cerebellar AVM: managing ultimate intraoperative challenges
    (American Association of Neurological Surgeons, 2021-01-01) Hendricks, Benjamin K.; Cohen-Gadol, Aaron A.; Neurological Surgery, School of Medicine
    Surgery within the posterior cranial fossa uniquely requires excellence in microsurgical technique, given the complexity of the neurovascular structures housed within this region. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) within this region represent the greatest surgical challenge because of the difficulty in resecting an AVM completely while preserving the highly eloquent surrounding structures. The AVM in this video exemplifies a surgeon's "most challenging case," a surgery that spanned two stages, including 14 hours of resection, but concluded with complete resection despite the complexity of deep arterial and dural feeders.
