(1) Discuss the clinico-radiological features in pediatric Spetzler-Martin grades I-V arteriovenous malformations. (2) Elucidate the varying treatment modalities available for pediatric intracranial arteriovenous malformation. (3) Discuss outcomes of single-modality, dual-modality, and triple-modality treatment approaches.

►Epidemiology and pathophysiology of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) ►Key differences between pediatric and adult AVMs ►AVM Spetzler-Martin grading scale ►Imaging Findings - Conventional MRI/MRA -Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) ►Current treatment modalities for pediatric AVMs - Microsurgery, Endovascular Embolization, Radiosurgery ►Expected post-treatment findings following embolization and radiosurgery. ►Treatment outcomes of pediatric AVMs - Post-procedural obliteration rates ►Future directions and summary
