Abstract:
After removal of a large arteriovenous malformation which was fed by middle cerebral artery and posterior cerebral artery and drained toward superior sagittal sinus, transverse sinus in the left parieto-occipital area, post-operative angiography showed a small residual arteriovenous malformation. The patient was recommended follow-up angiography instead of immediated operation. Angiography was performed one year later and it showed no residual arteriovenous malformation which was thought to be occluded spontaneously.
