| Summary: | (1) Background: This report describes the surgical management of a case of concurrent AVM with the involvement of dural arteries and moyamoya syndrome. Given the infrequency of this combination, there is currently no established management strategy available. (2) Case Description: A 49-year-old male patient with multiple symptoms including headaches, tinnitus, and visual impairment diagnosed with the coexistence of an arteriovenous malformation with the involvement of dural arteries and moyamoya syndrome was admitted to the national tertiary hospital. The patient underwent surgical management through embolization of the AVM from the afferents of the dural arteries, which has resulted in positive clinical outcomes. However, this approach may not be suitable for all cases, and a multidisciplinary team approach may be required to develop an individualized treatment strategy. (3) Conclusion: The contradictory nature of the treatment approaches in cases of combined AVM with the involvement of dural arteries and MMD highlights the complex nature of this condition and the need for further research to identify the most effective treatment strategies. |
