Objective A small number of patients has been reported to develop a completely new or de novo arteriovenous malformation (AVM) after brain surgery, haemorrhage, head trauma or ischaemic stroke. The natural history of these lesions is unknown. In this review, both ruptured and unruptured de novo AVMs and their treatments were reviewed. Methods Published literature in the PubMed database citing 'de novo cerebral arteriovenous malformation' was reviewed. Additional studies were identified through reference searches in each reviewed article. A review was performed using all published cases, the treatment approaches and outcomes. Results A total of 38 patients, including 37 de novo AVMs reported from 1988 to 17 November 2017 and our one patient, was collected. The age at AVM diagnosis was 5-73 years (mean ± SD, 27.6 ± 20.5 years). The duration time, from negative examination to AVM diagnosis, was 2 months to 25 years (mean ± SD, 6.6 ± 4.9 years). The presentation of de novo AVM was headaches in three (7.9%) patients, bleedings in 12 (31.6%), incidental in 14 (36.8%) and seizure in nine (23.7%). The estimated risk of haemorrhage was 4.8% per year. Seventeen (44.7%) patients were treated with surgical resection, 10 (26.3%) were conservatively observed, nine (23.7%) were treated with radiosurgery and two (5.3%) were endovascularly embolised. The morbidity and mortality were reported as 5.3% and 7.9%, respectively. Conclusion Post-natal de novo AVMs have been reported. Their annual haemorrhage risk is 4.8%. Most of them are treated by surgical resection and are associated with morbidity and mortality.

“…Meanwhile, other studies have suggested that brain AVMs are caused by an abnormal response to injuries as a result of trauma or radiation [8][9][10] . Likewise, the exact mechanism of TAC development in AVM patients is still not well understood.…”

“…Possible explanations for brain AVM development have been discussed in the literature, but these discussions are few in number, especially ones that discuss TAC in superficial AVMs [5][6][7][8][9][10] . The most common and widely recognized clinical features of AVMs are seizures, headaches and neurological deficits related to intracere-bral hemorrhage.…”

Background: Contrary to deeply located brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), superficially located AVMs are more likely to have transdural arterial communications (TACs). However, the clinical and radiologic characteristics of patients presenting with AVMs and TACs are poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to determine whether clinicoradiological features of cerebral AVMs differ according to TAC. Methods: Between 2002 and 2012, 438 consecutive patients with a brain AVM were treated in our hospital. Among them were 124 patients with superficially located brain AVMs who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of our study. We retrospectively reviewed the clinicoradiological features of their TACs to explore the variation in characteristics. Results: Thirty-two of the 124 patients with a superficially located AVM (25.8%) had TAC. Radiologic findings of brain AVM images with TAC showed that TAC occurred significantly more frequently among larger AVMs (with vs. without TAC, 11.2 vs. 4.0 ml) and among diffuse AVMs (56.3 vs. 28.3%, p = 0.004). Clinical findings indicate that TAC was associated with chronic headache (43.8 vs. 12.0%, p < 0.001) and older age (43.1 vs. 36.6 years, p = 0.037). Conclusions: Brain AVM with TAC seems to be accompanied by distinctive clinical features, such as chronic headache and older age. Larger size and diffuseness of the AVM were also associated with TAC. Findings from this study and the prognostic significance of TAC should be further explored in a large prospective study.

BACKGROUND Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions that can be congenital or acquired in early childhood, with fatal outcome in approximately 30% of cases. De novo formation during adulthood without established predisposing vascular pathology or previous brain insult is even less frequent. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a case of de novo brain AVM in an alcoholic Child-B cirrhosis setting. Thirty previously reported cases presented de novo AVM in patients of all ages that had another previous brain pathology or insult, such as AVM resection. Seventeen of those cases occurred in adult patients, with only 2 showing no significant predisposing factor. The present pathophysiological review covers and completes Mullan's hemodynamic "two-hit" model, associating probable thrombotic predisposition to AVM with brain insult triggering a later stage based on angiogenic stimuli. CONCLUSIONS This case report and literature review renews previously discussed hemodynamic theories and contributes to a fuller understanding of the pathogenesis and progression of AVM. We postulate a causal link between hepatopathy and de novo AVM, which should be strengthened and interpreted based on recent genetic data and future prospective studies.
