Perhaps due to the greater frequency, greater tendency to rupture, and higher mortality, interest in and understanding of the natural history of the intracranial aneurysm dominated the literature. Although early pathological descriptions of arteriovenous malformations were made by Luschka¹ (1854), Virchow² (1867), and Steinheil³ (1895), the premortem diagnosis remained uncertain until angiography⁴ was introduced and refined into a generally safe, easily performed technique. Since that time, knowledge of the anatomicopathophysiology⁵ of intracranial arteriovenous malformations has rapidly expanded. These lesions, once considered distinctly rare, are now appreciated as a commonly occurring abnormality and a frequent cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
