Cerebral abscess secondary to embolization of arteriovenous malformation: A case report and literature review

CONCLUSION: The patient showed significant clinical improvement after surgical resection of the malformation. No residual lesions were observed in the imaging examinations. Further, we reviewed the literature to find other cases of similar complications and their association with the endovascular procedure. We did not find complications in patients younger than the one presented in this case. Factors such as incomplete embolisation increase the risk of unfavourable outcomes.PMID:34877039 | PMC:PMC8645473 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_736_2021
