Previous case studies reported nine patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) who developed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) after AVM embolisation.

This study provides further arguments supporting the thesis that embolisation of cerebral AVM might influence the risk of later ALS development.
