Journal ArticleDOI
A proposed grading system for arteriovenous malformations.
TL;DR: A simple, broadly applicable grading system that is designed to predict the risk of morbidity and mortality attending the operative treatment of specific AVM's is proposed and has demonstrated its correlation with the incidence of postoperative neurological complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
The natural history of familial cavernous malformations: results of an ongoing study.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the familial form of cavernous malformations is a dynamic disease; serial MR images revealed changes in the number, size, and imaging characteristics of lesions consistent with acute or resolving hemorrhage, and that significant changes in neurological symptoms warrant repeat MR imaging.

Journal ArticleDOI
Incidental subcortical lesions identified on magnetic resonance imaging in the elderly. I. Correlation with age and cerebrovascular risk factors.
TL;DR: It is concluded that subcortical parenchymal lesions are frequent incidental findings on MRI in the elderly, and may represent an index of chronic cerebrovascular diseases in such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidental subcortical lesions identified on magnetic resonance imaging in the elderly. II. Postmortem pathological correlations.
TL;DR: Clinical and pathological correlations lend support to the uniform hypothesis that MRI provides a nonspecific index of brain parenchymal alterations caused by aging and chronic cerebrovascular disease.
