title: Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver associated with intracranial vascular malformations.
abstract: Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver, neoplasia of the brain, and intracranial vascular malformations have recently been described as a new syndrome. We report three cases of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver with intracranial vascular anomalies. Two patients died from ruptured berry aneurysm. It is important to consider intracranial pathology in patients with focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver.
