[Multiple intracranial aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformation. Clinical case].

Abstract

A case of intracranial multiple aneurysms associated with a giant arteriovenous malformation is reported. Three aneurysms were found arising from the arteries feeding the malformation. The patient could not be operated because of his age, neurological condition and the size of the arteriovenous malformation. Previously reported cases of cerebral aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformation are reviewed. Our case well illustrates the possible role of hemodynamic stresses induced by the malformation on the development of the aneurysms.
