Intracranial arteriovenous malformations are congenital vascular lesions characterized by localized arteriovenous shunting. Digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis. We herein report a case of intracranial arteriovenous malformations diagnosed by multi-detector computed tomographic (MDCT) angiography. The findings of MDCT angiography were confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. CT angiography might be a useful first-line screening tool, especially in an emergency situation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
