Abstract
The case of a 9-year-old girl with a right parietal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the brain obliterated after gamma knife (GK) radiosurgery with subsequent regrowth in a different site is reported. As far as we know, this is the first reported case of regrowth of an AVM in a different location after radiosurgery in a child. This situation has to be considered within the context of causes of unsuccessful treatment of AVMs with radiosurgery and justifies angiographic monitoring of pediatric patients until they reach adulthood.
