====== Cerebellar Arteriovenous Malformation ======

In [[1932]] the first successful resection of a cerebellar [[arteriovenous malformation]] was performed by [[Axel Herbert Olivecrona]] and Riives
((Olivecrona H, Riives J. Arteriovenous aneurysms of the brain, their diagnosis and treatment. Arch Neurol Psychiatry. 1948;59:567–602.)).
----
Cerebellar AVMs differ markedly from their [[supratentorial]] counterparts in that there are no perforating vessels involvement, drainage into the deep cerebral venous system, or presence of eloquent functional area except for the [[dentate nucleus]].

====Rare Etiologies====
Thrombosis of the ipsilateral [[transverse sinus]]
((Delye H, Thines L, Zairi F, Allaoui M, Lejeune JP. Rupture of a cerebellar
arteriovenous malformation following thrombosis of the ipsilateral transverse
sinus. Rev Neurol (Paris). 2014 Jun-Jul;170(6-7):464-5. doi:

===== Classification =====

see [[Cerebellar arteriovenous malformation classification]].
===== Clinical Features =====
[[Arteriovenous malformation]] of the [[cerebellum]] are a unique subset of [[intracranial arteriovenous malformation]] AVMs that present with hemorrhage more frequently than supratentorial AVMs.
