Complete spontaneous regression of cerebral arteriovenous malformation: a case report and review of the literature

Spontaneous regression of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is the phenomenon of partial or complete obliteration of the vascular anomaly without any therapeutic intervention. Complete spontaneous regression is a rare event with limited previously reported cases in the literature. We present a new...

Zusammenfassung:Spontaneous regression of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is the phenomenon of partial or complete obliteration of the vascular anomaly without any therapeutic intervention. Complete spontaneous regression is a rare event with limited previously reported cases in the literature. We present a new case of complete spontaneous regression of a right frontal AVM and report findings from the imaging studies. Furthermore, we present the findings of a detailed literature review and discuss hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology of this rare occurrence. •Complete Spontaneous Regression of Right Frontal AVM•Detailed literature review of complete SRAVM (92 cases)•Characteristics common in cases of SRAVM: small in size (
