Timing of diffusion tensor imaging in the management of a ruptured pediatric arteriovenous malformation: illustrative case
In ruptured AVMs, DTI may initially create an incomplete picture and false assumptions about white matter tract integrity. DTI should be repeated if delayed treatment is appropriate to ensure informed decision-making and prevent avoidable permanent neurological deficits. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24225.
