Altered Brain Structural Networks in Patients with Brain Arteriovenous Malformations Located in Broca’s Area by Maogui Li, Pengjun Jiang, Jun Wu, Rui Guo, Xiaofeng Deng, Yong Cao, Shuo Wang

“…Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), usually presumed to be congenital, often result in tissue degeneration and functional displacement of the perifocal areas, but it remains unclear whether AVMs may produce long-range effects upon the whole-brain white matter organization. In this study, we used diffusion tensor imaging and graph theory methods to investigate the alterations of brain structural networks in 14 patients with AVMs in the presumed Broca’s area, compared to 27 normal controls. …”
