Summary

Early descriptions of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) were based on their appearance uncovered during surgical exploration. The first report of a spinal AVM was provided by Gaupp in 1888. He described the lesion as a “hemorrhoid of the pia mater” [1]. That same year D’Arcy described an arterial angioma of the angular gyrus at autopsy. The patient presented with right hemiplegia and later died of intracranial hemorrhage [2].
