Headache attributed to arteriovenous malformation (AVM) [Q28.2] |
G44.811
|
Diagnostic criteria:
- Any new acute headache fulfilling criteria C and D
- Neuroimaging evidence of arteriovenous malformation
- Evidence exists of causation by the arteriovenous malformation
- Headache resolves within 72 hours
- Subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage and other causes of headache ruled out by appropriate investigations
Comment:
Cases have been reported highlighting the association of AVM with a variety of headaches such as cluster headache, chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) and short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT), but these cases had atypical features. There is no good evidence of a relationship between AVM and these primary headaches when they are typical.
Migraine with aura has been reported in up to 58% of women with AVM. A strong argument in favour of a causal relationship is the overwhelming correlation between the side of the headache or of the aura and the side of the AVM. There is thus a strong suggestion that AVM can cause attacks of migraine with aura (symptomatic migraine). Yet in large AVM series, migraine as a presenting symptom is rare, much less common than haemorrhage, epilepsy or focal deficits.
