Endovascular NBCA treatment of a ruptured arteriovenous malformation with venous pseudoaneurysm in a young child

Abstract

We reported imaging findings of arterio-venous malformation complicated by hemorrhage and venous pseudoaneurysm in a young child consulting for headache and emesis: to our knowledge venous pseudoaneurysm in association with ruptured arteriovenous malformation is a rare complication reported in the literature. We present the indications for endovascular treatment, especially with NBCA (N-butyl cyanoacrylate).
