Abstract
We report two cases of a rare association of brain and spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in an infant and in an adult. Both patients were embolised with glue with good clinical and morphological results. The first patient is an infant with a suspected family history of Rendu Osler Weber disease with multiple AVMs : two hemispheric cerebellar lesions (one of them revealed by a ventricular haemorrhage) and one cervical spinal cord AVM (SCAVM). The associated SCAVM fortuitously bled one month after treatment of the symptomatic cerebellar AV shunt. In the adult case, the management first involved a symptomatic SCAVM with favourable outcome; the cerebral AVM bled secondarily and was then excluded by endovascular approach.
