Letter to the Editor Regarding “Rupture Risk of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations During Pregnancy and Puerperium: A Single-Center Experience and Pooled Data Analysis”

We read with great interest the recent study by Zhu et  al1 entitled “Rupture Risk of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations During Pregnancy and Puerperium: A Single-Center Experience and Pooled Data Analysis.” The authors performed a retrospective study to compare risk of rupture in pregnant and nonpregnant female patients with arteriovenous malfor mation (AVM) and assess current evidence regarding rupture risk of AVM during pregnancy and puerperium by pooled data analysis. They concluded that an increase in annual rate of cerebral AVM hemorrhage during pregnancy and puerperium was found.
