Symptomatic de Novo Arteriovenous Malformation Appearing 17 Years after the Resection of Two Other Arteriovenous Malformations in Childhood: Case Report

Abstract

Our findings suggest that patients who undergo complete resection of AVMs may sustain other de novo AVMs some years later. The growth of an AVM seems to be related to the patient's age at onset and the duration of the posttreatment period. We emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up in patients with cerebral AVMs treated during childhood.
