title: Disappearance of cerebral arteriovenous malformations after partial endovascular embolisation: four cases with follow-up.
abstract: We report four patients with late angiographic follow-up of spontaneous occlusion of residual cerebral arteriovenous malformation after partial embolisation. Discussion is focused on the possible mechanisms leading to obliteration according to the latest concepts on angioarchitectural remodelling, malformation development and evolution with a brief review of the literature.
