Abstract

A rare case of large arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with persistent primitive hypoglossal artery in a 43-year-old male was treated by staged embolization, followed by total removal. AVM associated with carotid-basilar anastomosis is quite rare, but the incidence of AVM in patients with carotid-basilar anastomosis is high. AVM associated with persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis has no distinguishing features compared with ordinary AVM, but participation of the posterior circulation as a feeder is characteristic.
