Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (CAVMs) are rarely diagnosed in utero. Most prenatal imaging of intracranial vascular malformations relates to Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAMs) or Dural Arteriovenous Malformations (D-AVMs). We report a case of a fetal pial AVF with multiple fistulae and venous pouches, which appeared as an anechoic lesion on the prenatal ultrasound scan. The patient was asymptomatic with normal postnatal growth. No haemodynmaic disturbance was evident. Postnatal Computed tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and catheter Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) confirmed the presence of a pial AVF. The angiographic findings and family history of nose bleeds suggests the diagnosis of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. The largest AVF was embolized with tissue adhesive; the residual AVF subsequently removed by surgical excision.

Based on retrospective analysis of 212 cases diagnosed and treated at the King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh over a period of 5 years, this study is the first attempt to provide preliminary data on intracranial space-occupying lesions in Saudi Arabia. There were 184 (87%) neoplasms and 28 (13%) nonneoplastic tumors, mostly inflammatory masses. Age and sex distribution was comparable with that reported from other studies. Neuroepithelial tumors comprised 39.7% of all intracranial neoplasms, followed by meningiomas (22.8%), pituitary adenomas (16.8%), metastatic tumors (8.2%), malformative tumors (4.3%), and neurinomas (3.8%). Males were generally more affected than females. Tuberculomas constituted about 5% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions and, therefore, should always be considered in the differential diagnosis.
