Comprehensive Management of a Giant Left Frontal AVM Coexisting with a Bilobed PComA Aneurysm: A Case Report Highlighting Multidisciplinary Strategies and Advanced Neurosurgical Techniques

Background: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are high-risk cerebrovascular anomalies that can lead to devastating complications, especially when associated with intracranial aneurysms. Their coexistence poses unique challenges in diagnosis and management due to heightened hemodynamic stress and rupture risks. This case presents a 35-year-old woman with a giant unruptured left frontal AVM and a bilobed posterior communicating artery (PComA) aneurysm, highlighting the critical role of advanced imaging, meticulous surgical planning, and individualized care in addressing complex cerebrovascular conditions. Methods: The patient presented with a generalized tonic–clonic seizure, her first-ever neurological event. Advanced imaging, including digital subtraction angiography and 3D rotational imaging, revealed a 3–4 cm AVM supplied by the left middle and anterior cerebral arteries, with venous drainage into the superior sagittal sinus. Additionally, an unruptured bilobed PComA aneurysm was identified. Given the AVM’s large size, high-flow dynamics, and significant rupture risk, surgical resection was prioritized. The aneurysm, being stable and anatomically distinct, was managed conservatively. Microsurgical techniques were employed to ensure complete AVM resection while preserving critical vascular and neurological structures. Results: Postoperative angiography confirmed the complete removal of the AVM without residual nidus or abnormal vascular connections. The patient recovered without complications, achieving seizure freedom and preserved neurological function. At the three-month follow-up, imaging showed a stable resection cavity and a hemodynamically stable aneurysm. Conclusions: This case demonstrates the power of multidisciplinary care and advanced neurosurgical techniques in achieving curative outcomes for complex cerebrovascular anomalies. It underscores the importance of risk-prioritized strategies and highlights emerging directions for the field, including AI-integrated imaging, hybrid treatment approaches, and long-term studies on hemodynamic stability post-resection. This case contributes valuable insights into optimizing outcomes for patients with coexisting AVMs and aneurysms, offering hope for those facing similarly challenging diagnoses.
