Las malformaciones arteriovenosas (MAV) cerebrales múltiples son poco frecuentes y la mayoría de las publicaciones existentes presentan casos clínicos aislados. Su incidencia en grandes series de MAV oscila entre el 0,3 y 9%, y en la mayoría de casos aparecen asociadas con otras anomalías vasculares del cerebro u otros tejidos. Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de 62 años que sufrió una hemorragia parenquimatosa temporal izquierda y que en los estudios neuro-radiológicos se evidenciaron 3 MAV localizadas en: lóbulo temporal izquierdo, hemisferio cerebeloso izquierdo y lóbulo temporal derecho. Las lesiones fueron tratadas con radiocirugía.
Multiple cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are thought to be exceedingly rare lesions and have usually been reported as single cases. The incidence of multiple cerebral AVMs in major series ranges from 0.3% to 9% and, in the majority of cases, these malformations are associated with other vascular anomalies of the brain or soft tissues. We report a 62-year-old woman that presented with a left temporal haemorrhage. Angiography showed 3 AVMs located in the left temporal lobe, left cerebellar hemisphere and right temporal lobe. The lesions were treated with radiosurgery.
