Popis: Arteriovenous malformation is a frequent cause of hemorrhagic stroke in young adults and children, with not so many therapeutic options. We present the case of a 26-year-old woman who suffered from a hemorrhagic stroke from an arteriovenous malformation. She underwent radiosurgery three years after the acute event. Two years later, the malformation is excluded from the cerebral circulation.
