The common vascular anomalies of cerebral aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation may exist independently, or together as part of a closely related hemodynamic pairing. Resection or embolization of an AVM may be followed by a decrease in local blood flow, and lead to regression of a suitably situated proximal aneurysm. However, aneurysms located outside the angioarchitecture of the AVM, which remain flow-unrelated to the malformation, will likely not regress, and may in fact enlarge. Two cases are presented which demonstrate these vascular relationships, in order to better understand the regional hemodynamics of these anomalies prior to surgical or endovascular treatment planning.
