Abstract:
We reported a case of recurrent arteriovenous malformation, which had been operated on before and disappeared on postoperative angiography. Though a postoperative angiogram after the first operation indicated complete excision of the lesion, the patient returned with intracerebral hemorrhage, and an angiogram indicated reappearance of the lesion. Total excision was carried out at the second operation. It is concluded that long term follow-up angiography or vascular imaging procedures are required in particular cases of cerebral arteriovenous malformation with hematoma, difficulty in hemostasis and/or deep seated lesion.
