Abstract
Spetzler-Martin grade V (>6 cm) arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are traditionally considered inoperable. A 35-year-old man presented with repeated seizures for 7 years, and computed tomography arteriography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed left deep hemispheric AVM. A combination of embolization and surgical resection successfully achieved a cure of the patient. Well-equipped neurosurgery facilities can best manage selective Spetzler-Martin grade V AVMs with no neurologic deficits contrary to their traditionally inoperable concept. Successful surgery offers the patient a better quality of life.
