CTA confirms the presence of a large left temporal lobe arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which appears to receive the vast majority of its supply from the left middle cerebral artery. Also observed is an intranidal aneurysm.
Enlarged cerebral veins draining into the superior sagittal sinus and the vein of Galen.

The key of imaging aims include identifying the feeder arteries, draining veins and classifying the AVM.
