Abstract:Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) have long been considered to be congenital, developing between the third and eighth weeks of embryogenesis. However, cases reporting their de novo formation suggest that these lesions can develop after birth and have challenged this concept. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy with a history of a brainstem cavernous malformation diagnosed after birth who later developed a de novo bAVM. The de novo occurrence of this bAVM distant to the site of the cavernous malformation and a prior negative catheter angiography contributes to the uncertainty of the dynamics and pathophysiology of bAVMs.
Keywords:De novo brain arteriovenous malformation  Cavernous malformation  Vascular malformation
