Core Tip

Core Tip: In this case report, we present an example of successful delayed management of a ruptured brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) in a young female. The case is followed by an updated review regarding current “delayed” and “immediate” definitive interventions for bAVMs and problems associated with the current data on the effectivity of these paradigms.
