Abstract

A case of a simultaneously discovered arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and a meningioma is presented. A review of the literature revealed only four similar cases, but there have been 30 reports of other intracranial tumors in association with AVM. The possible mechanisms of this rare association are discussed.
