Spontaneous obliteration highlights the dynamic nature of cerebral arteriovenous malformations: A case report and review of the literature.

CONCLUSION: In our center's 20-year experience of treatment of cerebral AVMs (approximately 600 cases), this is the only case that has been aborted due to spontaneous obliteration leading us to infer that the incidence of spontaneous AVM obliteration is <1%. Spontaneous obliteration of AVM is a rare but well-established phenomenon that bears testimony to the dynamics of this vascular disorder. PMID: 27168948 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
