Abstract
We report an unusual patient who manifested all the cardinal features of posterior fossa AVM, over a clinical course of 25 years. These included mass effect. changing signs reminiscent of demyelinating disease, hemifacial spasm, tic douloureux, hydrocephalus, cranial nerve palsy and vascular headache similar to migraine. At the time of examination the clinical picture was dominated by neuro-ophthalmologic signs and symptoms, the pathogenesis of which is reviewed.Keywords
