Neurosurgery. 1983 Jun;12(6):687-90. doi: 10.1227/00006123-198306000-00018.

Abstract

The case of a 50-year-old man with a supratentorial dural arteriovenous malformation (AVM) associated with intracerebral hemorrhage is reported. Angiographically confirmed spontaneous regression of the AVM occurred without any form of surgical intervention. A possible mechanism of spontaneous closure of the AVM is offered.
