Abstract
Brainstem arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare and complex, presenting mainly with hemorrhage,
which can be catastrophic. The objective of its treatment is the angiographic obliteration of the lesion
without worsening or with improvement of the neurological symptoms. Embolization is an efficient
treatment for these AVMs but there are very few reported cases, although total obliteration is difficult,
but it can also serve to reduce the nest and close the most dangerous factors of the AVM. Brainstem AVM
is a rare pathology with high associated morbidity and mortality, with a high rate of rebleeding without
treatment, which in selected cases embolization can be curative with a good neurological prognosis
