We describe the unique case of a 6-year old boy who presented with recalcitrant generalized tonic-clonic seizures and clinicoradiological features of congenital Cirsoid aneurysm. The lesion was supplied by occipital arteries and a large right parietal parasagittal intracranial feeding artery in a Yokouchi type C pattern. The venous drainage was communicating with the posterior part of the superior sagittal sinus. Six months after successful ligation of the feeding arteries and complete surgical excision of the lesion, the patient remains seizure free.

Cirsoid aneurysms, formerly identified as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), represent infrequent vascular anomalies primarily localized within the scalp. These anomalies are typified by the absence of interposing capillaries, giving rise to extensively vascularized, expanded conduits connecting arterial feeders and venous outflows. This report details a case of a 13-year-old male afflicted with a cirsoid aneurysm in the scalp, who presented with swelling on the left frontal region, accompanied by headache and pulsatile sensations.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital renal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) can lead to serious symptoms like recurrent gross hematuria, particularly in younger individuals, but may also present as acute abdominal pain in cases without a history of hematuria.
- A case study involved a 36-year-old woman who initially showed symptoms suggestive of adnexal torsion, but advanced imaging revealed clot retention and signs of a renal AVM instead.
- The successful treatment of the AVM via ethanol embolization underscores the need for awareness of atypical presentations of renal AVMs to enable early diagnosis and prevent severe complications like clot retention or rupture.

Background: Cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp is a rare arteriovenous fistula having a traumatic, congenital, iatrogenic, or idiopathic etiology. Its presentation can range from a small swelling to a large pulsatile mass with tinnitus, headache, and scalp necrosis.
Observations: A 67-year-old female presented with a gradually increasing swelling on her forehead and head since childhood and no history of trauma.

Rationale: Renal arteriovenous malformations are rare vascular morphological anomalies that can be classified as congenital, idiopathic and acquired, of which congenital renal arteriovenous malformations are the most common. This disease is a rare cause of hematuria. In this case report, we report the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with renal arteriovenous malformation.

Renal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare disease and is difficult to be diagnosed by conventional methods because of its rarity. In this study, we investigated the diagnostic clues, and made an algorithm for the better diagnosis of renal AVM. We reviewed 13 patients who were diagnosed with AVM by using renal angiography from 1986 to 2020 at our institutes.
