Consensus exists that angiographically confirmed complete resection of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) can be regarded as the definite treatment. Only a few reports of AVM recurrences-mostly in children-are available so far [8, 9, 13, 14]. AVM recurrence in adults seems to be extremely rare, with only five case reports existing to date [1, 3, 4, 6, 11]. We present the first reported case of asymptomatic AVM recurrence in an adult. In June 2008, a 30-year-old female suffered a spontaneous intracerebral hematoma in the left parietal lobe involving the corpus callosum and the cingulate gyms, leading to acute headaches, vomiting, coordination disorder, and right-sided hemihypaesthesia.
