Case 3 History ---- The patient is a 30-year-old woman with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and multiple intracranial arteriovenous malformations. Genetic studies showed the patient and her family have an ENG mutation which codes for endoglin, which forms a complex important for blood vessel specialization. ---- 3A1-3 The MRI examination demonstrated left (arrow, 3A1) and right (arrow, 3A2) cerebellar AVMs. Vertebral angiograms (right, 3A3) showed congeries of irregular vessels in the left and right cerebellar hemispheres which were fed by the left superior cerebellar artery and right anterior inferior cerebellar and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries, respectively.
