Popis: The appropriate identification and localization of a nidus of a high flow arteriovenous malformation is crucial to guide targeted interventional therapy. However, the nidus of a complex or previously treated HFAVM can be difficult to non–invasively demonstrate on magnetic resonance imaging alone. We describe a unique case of a 56-year-old female with a complex high flow arteriovenous malformation in which we demonstrated the feasibility of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography to non–invasively delineate the nidus which subsequently guided successful targeted interventional therapy.
