Abstract
We report a case of a 19-year-old woman who underwent radiosurgical treatme nt of a residual arteriovenous malformation. Nine months after treatment, r epeat angiography revealed a de novo paranidal aneurysm that was treated en dovascularly. We postulate that changes in flow dynamics or vessel integrit y after radiosurgery contributed to the formation of her de novo aneurysm.
