[The case of arteriovenous malformation in midbrain in patient with vision disorders].
The authors present a case of 39 years old male who was admitted to the hospital with non-specific vision disorders. The clinical features and radiological examination have led to the diagnosis of arteriovenosum malformation in midbrain. In case of that patient it is worth noticing the difference between the size and location of malformation and its clinical symptoms. The neurological symptoms didn't indicate that there is arteriovenous malformation of that size in midbrain and shows the importance of radiological examination in neurological practice. Location of malformation was also a problem in choosing the way of treatment. Radiotherapy was chosen as less invasive in case of that patient. The patient is currently undergoing radiotherapy in Oncology Center in Gliwice, in general satisfactory condition.
