Summary
Pediatric vascular malformations are a heterogeneous group of disorders that can generally be categorized into structural lesions and arteriopathies. The most common structural lesions encountered in pediatric neurosurgery include high-flow malformations involving abnormal connections between arteries and veins and low-flow malformations of aberrant capillary development(cavernous malformations). The term “moyamoya” is used to encompass a diverse group of arteriopathies characterized by the shared finding of progressive stenosis of the intracranial internal carotid arteries resulting in stroke. Here we will define these lesions, discuss epidemiology to put the scope of the disease in context, and then review the pathobiology in detail, with current genetic screening recommendations.
