Abstract
Multiple intracranial arteriovenous malformations are rare. There are a few cases in the literature with up to three malformations in one pa tient. A child with seven separate cerebral malformations is now descr ibed. There was no history of haemorrhage, but only of febrile seizure s. The malformations were discovered at CT and verified at angiography . Six were selected for stereotaxic irradiation with the multicobalt u nit. The seventh was considered too big for irradiation and suitable f or surgery.
