Abstract Background A pial arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare neurovascular pathology consisting of a direct connection between one or more arterial feeders and a single venous channel. A PAVF was previously considered a subtype of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). In the current literature these are distinguished as two independent entities with different clinical, physiopathologic, and structural characteristics. We report a case of a surgically treated 37-year-old woman with an extremely rare combination of an unruptured PAVF and AVM. Patient The AVM was mainly supplied by feeders of the middle cerebral artery and drained into the sigmoid sinus via an abnormally dilated and tortuous vein. Following its resection, intraoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the hybrid operating room revealed the presence of a PAVF that had not been noted during the preoperative planning. Hence the PAVF was completely disconnected as confirmed by DSA again. Conclusion This is the second reported case of an AVM-associated PAVF. Without the intraoperative DSA in the hybrid operating room, this unusual complex cerebrovascular entity would likely have been missed.

Introduction. Familial arteriovenous malformations are exceedingly rare. They are often noted at birth. They can also present during childhood or adolescence. Sclerotherapy has proven to have a favorable outcome. Case Presentation. The present case report describes the treatment of arteriovenous malformations on the tongue, labial mucosa, and vermilion border in siblings treated with boiling saline injections. Conclusion. Sclerotherapy using boiling saline had shown to effectively treat arteriovenous malformations in the oral region without any significant morbidity.
