Abstract

According to present concepts arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are developmental anomal ies, whereas dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are considered to be most often acquired lesions [43,73,76]. Developmental anomaly does not necessarily imply congenital lesion. It is conceivable, that AVMs develop during childhood [25,45, 69].
