J Neurosurg. 1981 Dec;55(6):976-8. doi: 10.3171/jns.1981.55.6.0976.

Abstract

A case of tentorial arteriovenous aneurysm is reported in a 54-year-old man. This malformation, fed by branches of the external carotid artery, was drained exclusively by a parieto-occipital cortical vein. The rupture of this vein was responsible for the presenting intracerebral hematoma.
