Uncommon symptomatic cerebral vascular malformations [published erratum appears in AJNR A J Neuroradiol 1997 Aug;18(7):1396]

We describe three cases of unusual vascular malformations in which the most relevant angiographic findings were the presence of a pathologic arteriovenous shunt through multiple small direct arteriovenous fistulas and the lack of a clearly identifiable nidus. All malformations were symptomatic. Such...

Description
Summary:We describe three cases of unusual vascular malformations in which the most relevant angiographic findings were the presence of a pathologic arteriovenous shunt through multiple small direct arteriovenous fistulas and the lack of a clearly identifiable nidus. All malformations were symptomatic. Such lesions are relatively rare, but they should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of cerebrovascular malformations.
