Popis: A 63-year-old woman presented with a giant arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the lower limbs associated with Parkes Weber syndrome (PWS). The AVM was supplied by 4 branches of the right profunda femoris artery and 4-stage embolization was performed. At 67 years of age, she developed a pseudoaneurysm due to the recanalization of a coiled profunda femoris artery branch arterial aneurysm. We performed re-embolization of the coiled profunda femoris artery and observed its shrinkage, but 2 months later, the pseudoaneurysm began to expand again, having a fatal course. This case indicates that battles against giant AVM-associated PWS follow a long and convoluted path. We present this case with reviewing 15 previously reported cases to improve our management of PWS.
