CT angiography brain suggestive of arteriovenous malformation of 4*5 cm in right frontal region along with distal ACAaneurysm of 6*5mm. patient underwent craniotomy and clipping of aneurysm and excision of arteriovenous malformation through interhemispheric fissure approach. METHOD: Patient was conscious and oriented in postoperative period without any focal neurological deficit. Patient discharged on postoperativeday-12 with anticonvulsant drug RESULT: Approximately 1 in 15 patients with arteriovenous malformation will harbor an intracranial aneurysm. 1 in 100 patients with aneurysm will have an arteriovenous malformation.
