title: Marked growth of an angiographically occult arteriovenous malformation: case report.
abstract: The authors report a case of an angiographically occult arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that showed a marked increase in size over a period of 7 years. The importance of accurate diagnosis, follow-up computed tomography and repeated angiography, if needed, is stressed in cases where enlargement of an occult AVM is suspected.
