Abstract
Seizures are the second presentation of cerebral vascular malformations, while the first cause is bleeding. However, there are few publications about it, so we describe a case in which the photosensitive epilepsy is the first clinical manifestation of an occipital arteriovenous malformation, for scientific interest and clinical knowledge about it. Our patient was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and arteriography, and he was treated with embolizations with good outcome.
Highlights
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are congenital lesions due to an embryogenic failure during vascular differentiation [1]
Photosensitive epilepsy could be an uncommon presentation of arteriovenous malformation
Embolization is an effective treatment in this case
Summary
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are congenital lesions due to an embryogenic failure during vascular differentiation [1]. Photosensitive epilepsy could be an uncommon presentation of arteriovenous malformation The main diagnostic is done by image, which has a very important role. Embolization is an effective treatment in this case
