    Brain scintigraphy revealed an unusual pattern indicative of arteriovenous malformation (AVM). This radionuclide study aided in the preoperative diagnosis, later confirmed by angiography and surgery, highlighting scintigraphy

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for effective management of AVMs.
    • Radionuclide imaging plays a role in the diagnostic workup of neurological conditions.

    Observation:

    • Brain scintigraphy presented an atypical imaging pattern.
    • This unusual pattern was associated with an arteriovenous malformation.
    • The radionuclide study suggested a preoperative diagnosis of AVM.

    Findings:

    • The suspected AVM diagnosis was confirmed through contrast angiography and surgical intervention.
    • Established criteria for diagnosing AVMs using dynamic and static scintigraphy were reviewed.

  • Additional imaging findings that aid in diagnosing noncharacteristic AVM presentations were discussed.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential of brain scintigraphy in identifying AVMs, even with unusual presentations.
    • Understanding specific scintigraphic patterns can improve diagnostic accuracy for AVMs.
    • The findings contribute to the diagnostic armamentarium for cerebrovascular abnormalities.
