Continuous hemodynamics monitoring during arteriovenous malformation microsurgical resection with laser speckle contrast imaging: case report.

ABSTRACT: AVM surgery is challenging due to progressive and often unforeseeable flow changes during its resection which involve both the AVM and the surrounding brain tissue. Hence, accurate monitoring of blood flow is crucial to minimize complications and improve outcomes. The following case report illustrates the usefulness of complimentary non-invasive tools that can provide real time blood flow assessment. We present a case demonstrating the application of laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) in evaluating vessel flow dynamics during AVM surgery. A 30-year-old female presented with sudden headaches, nausea, vomiting, and vertigo. Emergency imaging revealed a ruptured cerebellar AVM necessitating surgical intervention. LSCI was integrated into the surgical workflow, providing continuous visualiz
