Abstract
We present the angiographic and NIR imaging course of a 62-year-old man wit
h a right parietal high-flow arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which was di
agnosed because of seizures. A spontaneous, complete, and asymptomatic occl
usion of the AVM was confirmed by a second angiography 3 months later. The
possible mechanisms leading to the occlusion are discussed, and a brief rev
iew of the literature is given.
