✓ A patient presented with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which was later totally removed at surgery. The patient presented again with a new SAH from a spinal AVM that was also totally removed at surgery. Coexistence of spinal and cerebral arteriovenous malformations are exceedingly rare and hemorrhage from each is not previously reported. This case emphasizes the importance of investigating the spinal canal in otherwise unexplained spontaneous SAH.

✓ The authors report the case of a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage in whom an intracranial dural arteriovenous malformation coexisted with a spinal arteriovenous malformation. The latter was considered to be the source of the hemorrhage by clinical and radiographic criteria. It is concluded that patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage who show no suitable intracranial source for their bleed in some instances should be investigated for a spinal origin of hemorrhage.

✓ Wyburn-Mason syndrome is a rare condition associated with multiple cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The disease, also called retinoencephalofacial angiomatosis, includes lesions of the retina, brain, and skin. This disorder stems from a vascular dysgenesis of the embryological anterior plexus early in the gestational period when the primitive vascular mesoderm is shared by the involved structures. The timing of the insult to the embryonic tissue determines which structures are affected. Extensions of the lesions vary widely but cutaneous lesions are unusual. Among reports in the literature, only three cases appear to have manifested without retinal involvement. The authors report the fourth case of Wyburn-Mason syndrome in which there was no retinal involvement and the first to involve neither the retina nor the face.

✓ A report of a patient with a spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) supplied from the right hypogastric artery is presented to emphasize the importance of thorough angiographic investigation when a spinal AVM is suspected.

✓ Two cases of spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) are reported because of a previously unobserved clinical feature: recurrent transient postprandial paresis of the legs. The authors believe the paresis was caused by chronic shunting of blood away from the cord and into the low-resistance AVM. Symptomatic cord ischemia might then be precipitated by vasodilatation in other areas of the body such as the splanchnic, brachial, or uterine vessels. We believe that in some instances this mechanism should be considered as an explanation for episodic neurological deficits seen in association with spinal AVM's.

✓ A 50-year-old woman with a parietal intracerebral hematoma was initially treated by hematoma evacuation. Initial preoperative and follow-up angiograms obtained 6 months later demonstrated no pial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). She suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage 8 years later. Results of follow-up cerebral angiography revealed the development of previously undetected multiple cerebral AVMs. This appears to be the first reported case of the development of multiple cerebral AVMs in an adult, demonstrated on serial angiography.

✓ Nine cases of intracranial aneurysm associated with cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) were found in a total of 140 patients with cerebral AVM (6.4%). Radical operation was performed for both angioma and aneurysm in eight cases and for aneurysm only in one case. The suitability of surgical treatment of both aneurysm and angioma is discussed.

✓ The authors report 56 cases of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage in Thai infants and children. The causes were: hemorrhagic disorders in 22 cases, arteriovenous malformations and aneurysms in 18, gnathostomiasis in nine, bleeding tumors in four, hypernatremia in one, and undetermined causes in two cases. Coagulation studies and cerebrospinal fluid examination for eosinophils are recommended before further invasive studies in such cases.

✓ In a series of 1107 patients with cerebrovascular disease studied by four-vessel angiography, the authors have found 10 cases of a bypass anomaly of the vertebral artery. Six of the cases also had cerebral aneurysms, and two cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The authors discuss the possible origins for this relationship.

✓ We have operated on 12 of 14 cases of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the posterior fossa since 1968, with one death. The lesions were in the cerebellum in 10 cases (three anteromedial, one central, three lateral, and three posteromedial), and in the cerebellopontine angle in two; in two cases the lesions were directly related to the brain stem. The AVM's in the anterior part of the cerebellum were operated on through a transtentorial occipital approach.
