Abstract
Cases of low-grade cerebral arteriovenous malformations (cAVMs) showing dynamic changes and large areas of brain edema on short-term MRI follow-up have rarely been reported. This report describes an incidentally discovered and initially misdiagnosed cAVM in a patient with malignancies. The presence of abnormal signals surrounded by large areas of brain edema combined with tortuous or dilated vessels indicates the possibility of an AVM, especially in young people.
