AVM No. | Timing of delayed imaging | MR Comments* | Histopathology |
---|---|---|---|
A | 24 h | Relative signal loss on post-infusion and difference images attributed to substantial residual ferumoxytol within lumen of vascular lesion | N/A |
B | 24 h | Moderate amount of uptake visualized within arteriovenous malformation wall; substantial residual intraluminal ferumoxytol | N/A |
C | 5 days | Moderate amount of uptake visualized within arteriovenous malformation nidus. Residual intravascular tracer is minimal. | Prominent macrophage staining seen in vascular walls. Prussian blue not informative due to long interval between ferumoxytol injection and resection. |
D | 5 days | Small amount of signal loss visualized that corresponds to the arteriovenous malformation vessel walls. There is some signal loss apparent in post-ferumoxytol images in normal vasculature distant from bAVM, although no signal loss is seen in sagittal sinus. | N/A |
