J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1987 Mar-Apr;11(2):326-8. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198703000-00025.

Abstract

A case of a partially thrombosed giant intracranial aneurysm with a magnetic resonance appearance simulating an arteriovenous malformation is presented. Causes for the similarity in signal pattern are discussed.
