Abstract:
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the brain are uncommon congenital lesions with a complex
array of arterial to venous shunts. The common clinical manifestations include haemorrhage,
seizures, headache, progressive neurologic defi cits and congestive cardiac failure. We report a child
who presented with bilateral acquired ptosis, a very rare presentation of AVM which has not been
previously reported.
