چکیده

Case of cerebrofacial arteriovenous metameric syndrome (CAMS) in a 9-year-old boy is described with arteriovenous malformation simultaneously involving the brain and face, with characteristic CAMS type 1 and 2 involvement.

Awareness of the underlying embryological abnormality and recognition of resultant clinical and radiological presentations are paramount for diagnosis and treatment.
