Spontaneous regression of cerebral AVM due to thrombosis of draining vein--angiographic and MRI demonstration.
Spontaneous regression of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rare and poorly understood phenomenon. We present a case of spontaneous complete and asymptomatic occlusion of the AVM associated with thrombosis of the draining cortical vein. The thrombosed draining cortical vein is beautifully demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
