===== Case reports =====
Pivazyan et al. presented the operative case of a 6-year-old boy with a small, ruptured [[posterior fossa arteriovenous malformation]]. After undergoing [[hematoma]] [[evacuation]], the patient underwent microsurgical resection of a small right vermian AVM assisted by the virtual reality platform, Surgical Theater (Gates Mills, OH). The [[video]] demonstrates the utility of a virtual [[augmented reality]] platform for addressing the challenges posed by a small posterior fossa AVM with respect to the need for precise three-dimensional localization of small lesions. The patient consented to the procedure. The participants and any identifiable individuals consented to publication of his/her image
