Hydrocephalus and congestive heart failure caused by intracranial arteriovenous malformations in infants

Abstract
✓ Two infants with large intracranial arteriovenous (A–V) malformations associated with hydrocephalus and congestive heart failure responded favorably to operative treatment of the malformation. The fact that the hydrocephalus subsided suggests that raised venous pressure may be important in the production of hydrocephalus.
