Abstract
A case demonstrating the marked growth of an angiographically occult arteriovenous malformation is presented. A review of 58 cases in which an increase in the size of an arteriovenous malformation occurred suggested that the patient's initial age may have had an important role in such growth and that both the age and the duration of follow-up were related to the extent of growth. Follow-up neuroradiological examinations are thought to be necessary for patients who have had an episode of intracranial hemorrhage of unknown cause during childhood, even if the initial angiograms revealed no vascular lesion.
