Sammanfattning
Spontaneous intracranial haemorrhages in children are rare. The leading cause of spontaneous bleeding is a rupture of arteriovenous malformations (AVM). This case study presents a 13 year-old girl with headache and slightly altered mental status due to bleeding from an unknown cerebral AVM. Although the initial symptoms may be non-specific it is a disease, which results in a significant mortality. A physician should keep the diagnosis in mind even though the incidence in children is very low.
