Abstract
PURPOSE: Pure arterial malformations of the brain are rare vascular lesions. METHODS: We present a 10-year-old healthy boy who presented with an incidental finding of pure arterial malformation. RESULTS: Our case seems to represent the second description of pure arterial malformation discovered incidentally in a child. CONCLUSION: We review the clinical presentation, angiographic findings, and management of our case in the context of other reported pediatric cases.
