? 2021 Elsevier Inc.Background: The decision-making process surrounding resection of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in proximity to vital brainstem structures is a complex topic. Intricate vasculature in the setting of exquisite brainstem eloquence creates a high-risk operative landscape with the potential for devastating complications. Effective resections are driven by mastery of the relevant operative anatomy, preservation of pertinent vasculature, and technical experience and acumen. Methods: This article provides a narrative literature review on the resection of brainstem AVMs. Results: Operative anatomy and approaches to AVMs of the midbrain (anterior/posterior), pons (anterior/lateral), and medulla (anterior/lateral) are discussed herein, with a focus on pearls and pitfalls for minimizing complications during resection. Conclusions: Careful consideration of the patient's clinical background, the natural history of the lesion, and expertise of the treating surgeon are paramount for improving the natural course of brainstem AVMs.
