Cerebrovascular malformations can be detected by cranial magnetic resonance imaging (SWI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and cerebral angiography.
The gold standard for the diagnosis of cerebrovascular malformation is cerebral angiography, which can clarify the location and size of vascular malformation. However, cerebral angiography is an invasive test, while non-invasive tests such as cranial magnetic resonance imaging (SWI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) have some significance in the initial diagnosis.
When the presence of cerebrovascular malformation is confirmed, it is necessary to actively cooperate with doctors for examination and treatment to avoid adverse consequences.
