The aim of our work was to review the main classification schemes proposed in the literature, which can be summarized in four main groups: (a) traditional schemes oriented to evaluate the operability of AVMs have been joined by (b) specific classifications that evaluate the outcome and the predictability of obliteration of other treatment modalities and (c) others that evaluate the outcome of intracerebral hemorrhages in ruptured AVMs. Eventually, (d) topographical classifications that categorize the subtypes of AVMs located in specific anatomical regions have been drawn. For each classification, we discuss the implications on surgical management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-63453-7_15","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,11]],"date-time":"2021-05-11T00:22:12Z","timestamp":1620692532000},"page":"101-106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Brain Arteriovenous Malformations Classifications: A Surgical Point of View"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"given":"Giovanni Marco","family":"Sicuri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Galante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Stefini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"15_CR1","volume-title":"Microneurosurgery.
