Indomethacin in controlling "normal perfusion pressure breakthrough" in a case of large cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
Control of "normal perfusion pressure breakthrough" is difficult and controversial. We describe a case in which indomethacin was used with success. We recommend extensive cerebral monitoring including regional cerebral oximetry when using indomethacin to detect impending cerebral ischemia.
