Cerebral arteriovenous malformation causing epistaxis.
Epistaxis can be life threatening and may not respond to conventional conservative measures such as packing. In our institution, between 1984 and 1991, we have treated 65 patients with embolization who had epistaxis that did not stop with nasal packing, with a success rate of 90%. This case report illustrates an unusual example of epistaxis due to a right frontal arteriovenous malformation (A V...

It is usually associated with hereditary syndromes and presented with hemorrhage or seizure. We report a 20-year-old male patient who presented with drooping of the left eyelid.

متن کاملIntrapulmonary arteriovenous malformation causing recurrent strokes
This case reveals a left pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) as a cause of recurrent cerebral and cerebellar emboli. Extensive workup excluded other etiologies of emboli formation, and the patient was transferred to a tertiary care center for percutaneous embolotherapy. In the absence of a clear etiology, PAVM should be considered as a potential cause of recurrent cerebral emboli, espec...
متن کاملAnimal Models in Studying Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation
Brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an important cause of hemorrhagic stroke. The etiology is largely unknown and the therapeutics are controversial. A review of AVM-associated animal models may be helpful in order to understand the up-to-date knowledge and promote further research about the disease. We searched PubMed till December 31, 2014, with the term "arteriovenous malformation," li...
متن کاملSpontaneous Partial Regression of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the brain is one of the important pathologic conditions which cause intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage, epilepsy, or chronic cerebral ischemia. The spontaneous regression of cerebral AVM is reported to be very rare and more likely to occur when the AVM is small, is accompanied by hemorrhage, and has fewer arterial feeders. We report a case of right occi...
