title: Diagnosis of cranial asymmetries in cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
abstract: Nine of 29 patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations exhibited abnormal cranial asymmetries on computed tomography (CT). Two of these patients showed no other abnormalities on their precontrast CT scans. Assessment of cranial asymmetry is recommended in all patients suspected of having an arteriovenous malformation.
