Abstract
Pediatric hemorrhagic stroke (HS) accounts for a large proportion of childhood strokes, 1 of the top 10 causes of pediatric deaths. Morbidity and mortality lead to significant socio-economic and psychosocial burdens. To understand published data on recognizing and managing children with HS, we conducted a systematic review of the literature presented here. We searched PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library databases limited to English language and included 174 studies, most conducted in the USA (52%). Terminology used interchangeably for HS included intraparenchymal/intracranial hemorrhage, spontaneous ICH, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Key assessments informing prognosis and management included clinical scoring (Glasgow coma scale), and neuroimaging. HS etiologies reported were systemic coagulopathy (genetic, acquired pathologic, or iatrogenic), or focal cerebrovascular lesions (brain arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, aneurysms, or tumor vascularity). Several scales were used to measure outcome: Glasgow outcome score (GOS), Kings outcome score for head injury (KOSCHI), modified Rankin scale (mRS) and pediatric stroke outcome measure (PSOM). Most studies described treatments of at-risk lesions. Few studies described neurocritical care management including raised ICP, seizures, vasospasm, or blood pressure. Predictors of poor outcome included ethnicity, comorbidity, location of bleed, and hematoma >2% of total brain volume. Motor and cognitive outcomes followed independent patterns. Few studies reported on cognitive outcomes, rehabilitation, and transition of care models. Interdisciplinary approach to managing HS is urgently needed, informed by larger cohort studies targeting key clinical question (eg development of a field-guide for the clinician managing patients with HS that is reproducible internationally).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Epileptic seizures in patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) may be caused by hemodynamic alterations due to the complex angioarchitecture of bAVMs. In particular, an arterial steal phenomenon and venous outflow disruption may play an etiological role in seizure development but remain challenging to demonstrate quantitatively. Blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) imaging is an emerging technique that can measure both arterial steal phenomenon (as a paradoxical BOLD signal decrease during a vasodilatory stimulus) and impaired perinidal BOLD-CVR (which has been found in the presence of venous congestion on conventional angiography in bAVM patients with epilepsy). By applying this innovative BOLD-CVR technique, the aim is to better study CVR patterns and their correlation with morphological features on conventional angiography in patients with bAVM with and without epilepsy.
METHODS
Twenty-two patients with unruptured and previously untreated bAVMs (8 with and 14 without epilepsy) were included in this case-control study. Quantitative CVR measurements were derived from BOLD functional MRI volumes using a novel standardized and precise hypercapnic stimulus (i.e., % BOLD/mm Hg CO2). In addition, 22 matched healthy controls underwent an identical BOLD-CVR study. Evaluation of venous congestion was performed on conventional angiography for all patients with bAVM.
RESULTS
Patients with bAVM-associated epilepsy showed impaired whole-brain BOLD-CVR compared to those in the nonepilepsy group, even after correction for AVM volume and AVM grade (epilepsy vs nonepilepsy group: 0.17 ± 0.07 vs 0.25 ± 0.07, p = 0.04). A BOLD-CVR–derived arterial steal phenomenon was observed in 2 patients with epilepsy (25%). Venous congestion was noted in 3 patients with epilepsy (38%) and in 1 patient without epilepsy (7%; p = 0.08).
CONCLUSIONS
These data suggest that whole-brain CVR impairment, and more pronounced hemodynamic alterations (i.e., arterial steal phenomenon and venous outflow restriction), may be more present in patients with bAVM-associated epilepsy. The association of impaired BOLD-CVR and bAVM-associated epilepsy will need further investigation in a larger patient cohort.

Perinidal Angiogenesis Is a Predictor for Neurovascular Uncoupling in the Periphery of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations: A Task-Based and Resting-State fMRI Study. J Magn Reson Imaging 2020; 54:186-196. [PMID: 33345355 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.27469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Potential neurovascular uncoupling (NVU) related to perinidal angiogenesis (PA) of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may cause inappropriate presurgical mapping using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), resulting in overconfident resection and postoperative morbidity. PURPOSE To evaluate the potential impact of PA upon fMRI blood oxygen level-dependent signal in the periphery of AVMs. STUDY TYPE Prospective. POPULATION Twenty-one patients with AVMs located in the primary sensorimotor cortex (SM1) undergoing task-based fMRI (hand motor), and 19 patients with supratentorial AVMs undergoing resting-state fMRI. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3.0T, echo-planar, time-of-flight, and magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo. ASSESSMENT The presence of PA was determined by three observers (Y.C., J.W., and X.C.) according to digital subtraction angiography and MR angiography. Interhemispheric asymmetry of fMRI activations contralateral to hand movements was evaluated with the interhemispheric ratio of the average t-value within ipsilesional SM1 to contralesional SM1. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) and fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) were extracted from ring-shaped perinidal regions and contralateral homologous regions, and the corresponding interhemispheric ratios were calculated. The effect of PA on the interhemispheric asymmetry of motor activations, ReHo, and fALFF was estimated. STATISTICAL TESTS Pearson analysis, paired and independent t-test, multiple linear regression, Friedman test, and factorial analysis of variance were used. RESULTS Motor activations were significantly reduced in ipsilesional SM1 compared to contralesional SM1 (P < 0.05). The presence of PA was the independent predictor of activation loss in ipsilateral SM1(P < 0.05). Furthermore, perinidal regions exhibited reduced ReHo compared to the homologous regions (P < 0.05). PA was significantly associated with the decline of ReHo and fALFF in perinidal regions (P < 0.05, for both). DATA CONCLUSION The presence of PA can predict perinidal NVU that may confound the interpretation of both task-based and resting-state fMRI, highlighting the importance of alternative approaches of brain functional localization in improving treatment of AVMs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

Abstract
The functional imaging of perfusion enables the study of its properties such as the vasoreactivity to circulating gases, the autoregulation and the neurovascular coupling. Downstream from arterial stenosis, this imaging can estimate the vascular reserve and the risk of ischemia in order to adapt the therapeutic strategy. This method reveals the hemodynamic disorders in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease or with arteriovenous malformations revealed by epilepsy. Functional MRI of the vasoreactivity also helps to better interpret the functional MRI activation in practice and in clinical research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the response in R2* relaxation rate of human intracranial tumours during hyperoxic and hypercapnic respiratory challenges. METHODS In seven patients with different intracranial tumours, cerebral R2* changes during carbogen and CO(2)/air inhalation were monitored at 3 T using a dynamic multigradient-echo sequence of high temporal and spatial resolution. The R2* time series of each voxel was tested for significant change. Regions of interest were analysed with respect to response amplitude and velocity. RESULTS The tumours showed heterogeneous R2* responses with large interindividual variability. In the 'contrast-enhancing' area of five patients and in the 'non-tumoral' tissue most voxels showed a decrease in R2* for carbogen. For the 'contrast-enhancing' area of two patients hardly any responses were found. In areas of 'necrosis' and perifocal 'oedema' typically voxels with R2* increase and no response were found for both gases. For tissue responding to CO(2)/air, the R2* changes were of the same order of magnitude as those for carbogen. The response kinetic was generally attenuated in tumoral tissue. CONCLUSION The spatially resolved determination of R2* changes reveals the individual heterogeneous response characteristic of intracranial human tumours during hyperoxic and hypercapnic respiratory challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study assesses the utility of a novel invasive device (O2C-, oxygen-to-see-device) for intraoperative measurement of the cerebral microcirculation. CO2 vasoreactivity during 2 different propofol concentrations was used to investigate changes of capillary venous cerebral blood flow (rvCBF), oxygen saturation (srvO2), and hemoglobin concentration (rvHb) during craniotomy. METHODS Thirty-four patients were randomly assigned to a low propofol (4 mg/kg/h) versus a high propofol (6 mg/kg/h) group. A fiberoptic probe was applied on the cortex next to the surgical site. Measurements were performed during lower (35 mm Hg) and higher (45 mm Hg) levels of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (paCO2). Arterio-venous difference in oxygen concentration (avDO2) and approximated cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (aCMRO2) were calculated for each paCO2 state. Linear models were fitted to test changes of end points in response to paCO2 and propofol concentration. RESULTS In comparison to the lower levels of paCO2, higher levels of paCO2 increased rvCBF (P<0.001), and srvO2 (P=0.002). RvHb remained unchanged during measurements (P=0.325). Calculated avDO2 decreased with increasing paCO2 (P<0.001), whereas aCMRO2 did not change during the study (P=0.999). Propofol concentration had no effect on measured or calculated end points. CONCLUSIONS Increase of rvCBF by paCO2 indicates a preserved CO2 reactivity independent of propofol anesthesia. The consecutive rise in srvO2 implies enhanced oxygen availability due to vasodilatation. Unchanged rvHb represents constant venous hemoglobin concentration. As expected, calculated avDO2 decreases with increased paCO2, whereas aCMRO2 remains unchanged. Despite the promising technical approach, the technology needs validation and further investigation for usage during neurosurgery.

Abstract
ObjectThe scientific understanding of the nature of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the brain is evolving. It is clear from current work that AVMs can undergo a variety of phenomena, including growth, remodeling, and/or regression—and the responsible processes are both molecular and physiological. A review of these complex processes is critical to directing future therapeutic approaches. The authors performed a comprehensive review of the literature to evaluate current information regarding the genetics, pathophysiology, and behavior of AVMs.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed to reveal the angioarchitecture and cerebral hemodynamics of AVMS as they relate to lesion development.ResultsFeeding artery pressures, brain AVM compartmentalization, venous drainage, flow phenomena, and vascular steal are discussed.ConclusionsThe dynamic nature of brain AVMs is at least in part attributable to hemodynamic and flow-related phenomena. These forces acting on an evolving structure are critical to understanding the challenges in endovascular and surgical therapy. As knowledge in this field continues to progress, the natural history and predicted behavior of these AVMs will become more clearly elucidated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) constitute a neurovascular disorder that comes to clinical attention mainly in young adults in their mid thirties. Associated symptoms often require neurological treatment for symptomatic seizures (focal or generalized), headaches (episodic or chronic), progressive neurological deficits, or spontaneous AVM rupture leading to intracerebral, intraventricular, and/or subarachnoid hemorrhage. STATE OF ART Little data exist in the medical literature regarding the natural history risk of the disease and no controlled studies are available on the risk of invasive AVM treatment (endovascular, neurosurgery, radiotherapy). PERSPECTIVES This review focuses on all aspects of neurological brain AVM management and discusses possible predictors of the natural history risk as well as the benefit and risk of invasive treatment. CONCLUSIONS AVM patient management is ideally based on a trans-disciplinary approach via a neurovascular team of neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and radiotherapists. A newly diagnosed AVM does not necessarily represent an a priori indication for interventional treatment. The decision in favor or against therapy mainly depends on clinical criteria (ruptured versus unruptured AVM, neurological exam, patient age and co-morbidity, etc.) and the angioarchitecture of the malformation. The ARUBA study is going to be the first randomized clinical trial comparing the risk of invasive treatment versus non-invasive management.
