Spontaneous appearance of de novo intracranial arteriovenous malformation in hepatic cirrhosis.

CONCLUSIONS: This case report and literature review renews previously discussed hemodynamic theories and contributes to a fuller understanding of the pathogenesis and progression of AVM. We postulate a causal link between hepatopathy and de novo AVM, which should be strengthened and interpreted based on recent genetic data and future prospective studies.
