Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation Embolized through Persistent Primitive Hypoglossal Artery: A Case Report

Carotid-vertebral anastomoses are commonly detected as incidental findings. But sometimes these channels are important for the clinical condition of the patient. Here a case of right thalamo- capsular arteriovenous malformation is described where a persistent primitive hypoglossal artery was the only route for embolization of the arteriovenous malformation.
