Multiple intracerebral arteriovenous malformations. A case report and literature review.
The presence of multiple intracerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in a single patient has only been very rarely reported. We present a patient with three separate angiographically demonstrable intracerebral AVMs, all of which were radiologically demonstrated and surgically removed without residual neurological deficit. A literature survey was conducted and all the previously described cases of multiple intracerebral AVMs are discussed, along with the potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
