Neil","Daphne Li","Michael F. Stiefel","Yin C. Hu"],"abstract":"Background: Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) have been long thought to be a congenital anomaly of vasculogenesis in which arteries and veins form direct connections forming a vascular nidus without an intervening capillary bed or neural tissue. Scattered case reports have described that AVMs may form de novo suggesting they can become an acquired lesion. Case Description: The current case report describes a patient who presented with new-onset seizures with an initial negative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and subsequently developed an AVM on a MRI 9 years later. Conclusion: This case joins a small, but growing body of literature that challenges the notion that all AVMs are congenital.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/682eddb6-bbf4-4d73-8b19-9a1c89989654/featured/hero-1782420981384.png","publishDate":"2014-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.142796","categories":["Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/4042/SNI-5-148.pdf"}
