Abstract:
We report a 14-year-old girl who had been diagnosed incidentally as having a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the left thalamus. The AVM disappeared spontaneously without treatment. Follow-up angiography performed 6 years after the original angiograms confirmed the complete disappearance of the AVM. Some possible mechanisms giving rise to the thrombosis of an AVM are discussed.
