    Thrombosed arteriovenous malformations can mimic low-grade gliomas. This familial occurrence highlights the importance of considering vascular malformations in neurological diagnoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Malformations
    • Neuro-oncology

    Background:

    • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies.
    • Low-grade gliomas are common primary brain tumors in children.

    Observation:

    • A child and her maternal uncle presented with neurological symptoms.
    • Initial diagnosis in both cases was low-grade glioma.
    • Imaging revealed thrombosed arteriovenous malformations.

    Findings:

    • Both patients exhibited disease progression with new, distant brain lesions.
    • The familial pattern suggests a potential genetic predisposition.

    Implications:

    • This case series underscores the critical need to differentiate AVMs from gliomas.

  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment and management.
  • Further research into the genetic basis of familial AVMs is warranted.
