"De novo" brain arteriovenous malformation in a child with congenital porto-systemic shunt and multisystemic angiomas.

De novo arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) of the brain have been rarely previously reported, especially in the pediatric population. Although AVMs have possible connections with other diseases, the association with congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSS) has never been reported before. A child was followed for CPSS and cutaneous and hepatic angiomas.
