Core Tip
Core Tip: This study highlights an exceptionally rare case of ectopic recurrent intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a 31-year-old adult, diagnosed five years following initial AVM resection. this de novo cerebellar AVM demonstrated arterial and venous configurations distinct from typical pediatric cases. Reviewing six similar adult cases, this study explored the potential causes of such rare recurrences. This experience suggests that prolonged magnetic resonance imaging follow-up beyond 10 years may be required to detect new AVMs in previously treated patients.
