title: Intracranial arteriovenous malformation masquerading as a cardiac disorder.
abstract: In this report, we describe an adult with a large intracranial arteriovenous malformation which mimicked a cardiac lesion. The patient presented with predominant cardiac symptoms, a prominent continuous murmur and signs of arterial run-off. The diagnosis was confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. We report the case to highlight the rare presentation.
