Multiple intracranial arteriovenous malformations: a case report.
Multiple intracranial arteriovenous malformations are rare. There are a few cases in the literature with up to three malformations in one patient. A child with seven separate cerebral malformations is now described. There was no history of haemorrhage, but only of febrile seizures. The malformations were discovered at CT and verified at angiography. Six were selected for stereotaxic irradiation with the multi-cobalt unit. The seventh was considered too big for irradiation and suitable for surgery.
