520			_aAbstract: A 16 year-old female presented with chronic progressive severe headache for 1 month. The diagnosis of Arterio-venous malformation is not often made in pediatric patients because it is more commonly seen in the 2nd to the 3rd decade of life. This should be included in the differential diagnoses of pediatric patients presenting with headache along with tumors, CNS infections and migraine headaches. It is a congenital anomaly which results as a consequence of the failure of normal capillary bed development between arteries and veins during embryogenesis. Some of the presenting signs and symptoms may be headache, seizure or hemorrage. Magnetic Resonance Angiography remains to be the gold standard in the diagnosis of AV malformations, however, other imaging modalities may also be used such as CT Scan and MRI. Surgery is still the definitive treatment but newer treatment modalities have also been proven to be effective such as stereotactic radiotherapy. The social impact of the disease to the patient as well as to the family members have also been emphasized.
