  • Description: Intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a very rare disease with a prevalence of 0.06-0.11% and incidence of 0.01-0.0013%.[1, 2, 3, 4] The annual bleeding rate of AVM is 4% and annual rates of mortality of 1%.[5, 6, 7] The main angioarchitectural characteristic of cerebral AVMs distinguishing them from the other types of cerebral vascular malformations is the presence of nidus. The embolization of high flow intranidal fistula is a challenge. We report a case of high flow intranidal fistula in brain AVM, which was treated in a novel method.A 41-year-old female presented with history of severe headache, vomiting, and loss of consciousness 4 months back. Patient was diagnosed as right parietal AVM with intracranial bleed and referred to our center for endovascular embolization. Cerebral angiogram showed right parietal AVM with high flow intranidal fistula. Under general …
