Arteriovenous malformation of the corpus callosum associated with persistent primitive trigeminal artery--case report.
A 16-year-old girl with a large, ruptured arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the corpus callosum was studied by computed tomography and angiography. The relatively large nidus of the AVM was located mainly in the anterior portion of the corpus callosum, and there was a smaller nidus in the splenium. She also had a persistent primitive left trigeminal artery (PTA). This is the first reported case of an AVM with extensive callosal involvement associated with a PTA. She underwent radiation therapy and remained asymptomatic for 2 years thereafter.
