Bi-Weekly Focus: Eloquence for AVMs
On the SAM (AVM) data collection form, I need to be able to answer if the AVM has ELOQUENCE: If it does, I need to know which indicator is the correct one to check:
Sensorimotor
Brainstem
Broca's Area
Deep structures
Wernicke's Area
Cerebellar Nuclei
Visual Cortex
Cerebellar Penduncles
When describing the morphology of the AVM I usually find the dimensions, side, size, location, feeders, and venous drainage; but rarely can I identify if there is eloquence.
Please being including this key component when describing an AVM.
