The mechanisms driving spontaneous regression of brain AVMs remain poorly understood, and long-term surveillance in pediatric patients is infrequently documented.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nThe authors reported a remarkably rare instance of spontaneous thrombosis in a pial AVM accompanied by a large intranidal aneurysm in a 10-month-old infant, initially presenting with a nocturnal seizure. Diagnostic imaging revealed a ruptured intranidal aneurysm causing acute hemorrhage in the left anterior interhemispheric subdural space, extending into adjacent areas. Further, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography delineated the AVM in the left superior frontal gyrus, associated with a thrombosed aneurysm and surrounding edema. Cerebral angiography confirmed the AVM\u2019s origin from the left anterior cerebral artery, displaying early venous drainage and small, indirect feeders not amenable to endovascular treatment. Over time, serial imaging showed the aneurysm\u2019s transition from partial to complete thrombosis. Subsequent MRIs and angiographic assessments up to age 10 confirmed complete resolution of the AVM and aneurysm, with focal hyperemia persisted until age 16, when recurrent AVM was identified.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nWe document a rare spontaneous regression of a pial AVM with an intranidal aneurysm influenced by specific vascular factors. Despite this, spontaneous thrombosis should not replace vigilant long-term monitoring in pediatric neurovascular care.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_45_2024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]],"date-time":"2024-06-21T08:06:06Z","timestamp":1718957166000},"page":"206","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Long-term
