A-D) Male, aged 60 presenting with sudden aphasia due to hemorrhage in the left frontal region. Left carotid angiography (A,B) showed a left frontal, pre-rolandic AVM with a volume of 9 ml fed by the most posterior of the prefrontal arteries and the precentral sulcus artery. Immediate post-embolization (Onyx) angiogram (C,D) showed complete obliteration of the AVM. A control angiogram, performed one year later, confirmed the stability of the result.

A-E) Male, aged 42 with partial seizures. T2-weighted MR scans (A) reveal a large (21 ml) right rolandic AVM. At carotid angiogram (B,C) a rolandic AVM fed by several branches of anterior and middle cerebral arteries with draining veins directed to the superior sagittal sinus was evident. The patient underwent 5 endovascular procedures and radiosurgery. Control angiograms 3 years after completion of the combined treatment (D,E) show complete obliteration of AVM.
