title: [An unusual cerebral arteriovenous malformation (author's transl)].
abstract: A rare, extensive arterio-venous fistula with cardiac enlargement was found in an infant. Numerous branches from the internal and external carotid artery were disposed in a stellate manner to form a large central vessel, probably corresponding to the inferior sagittal sinus. The brain was grossly abnormal. The embryology, clinical features and diagnoses are discussed.
