Early relapses of hemorrhage are not characteristic for children with cerebral AVM. Therefore, there are no indications for urgent surgery except for cases of intracerebral hematoma. In children, microsurgical treatment is preferred for angiomatous AVM, endovascular treatment - for fistulous AVM. Radiosurgery also ensures favorable outcomes. However, it is unreasonable to postpone AVM radiosurgical treatment in children with increased risk of recurrent hemorrhage considering relatively long period of post-radiation obliteration of AVM.
