A case is reported of an unoperated giant arteriovenous malformation with a progressive deterioration ending in a severe dementia and invalidism. Angiographic documentation is over a 22 year interval. The presentation, diagnosis and treatment of this disease are discussed. It is concluded that early surgical intervention should have a primary role in the management of giant arteriovenous malformation.
