This case exhibits a relatively uncommon grade IV AVM and demonstrates some aspects of the history, diagnosis, grading and considerations for surgical intervention. Although AVMs pose a lifelong risk of haemorrhage, surgical resection itself is not without significant danger, and should not be undertaken unless complete obliteration of the lesion is feasible. While each patient must be evaluated on an individual basis, simplified schema for aiding in this decision have been proposed based on characteristics of the lesion.
