Abstract

A giant aneurysmal cerebral arteriovenous malformation in the left parieto-occipital region is described in a 4 year old child, including resolution of the alternating hemiparesis and left ventricular hypertrophy of the heart following successful removal of the malformation by microsurgical technique. This arteriovenous malformation has a large aneurysmal sac, 6x5x4cm, in size with several feeders from branches of the left middle and posterior cerebral arteries and drains directly into the straight sinus. So we have proposed to call it "a giant aneurysmal cerebral arteriovenous malformation".
