Supratentorial arteriovenous malformation presenting with cerebellar dysfunction.
A young patient with classic clinical presentation and radiological findings of an arteriovenous malformation subsequently developed a spontaneous occlusion of the straight sinus. Although the lesion was supratentorial, thrombosis of the straight sinus and cerebellar cortical veins resulted in signs and symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction. Successful surgical excision was performed with good results.
