Pediatr Emerg Care. 1995 Dec;11(6):376-8. doi: 10.1097/00006565-199512000-00011.

Abstract

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations are uncommon in children. Familial incidence of these lesions is reported in only 10 families. We report a family in which the two youngest siblings had this anomaly, and we review the literature. These cases represent a clinical situation that emergency physicians may encounter.
