RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger is a tentorial branch of the superior cerebellar artery: due to its small diameter, it is not usually seen in normal angiograms except when enlarged in the setting of a dural AVF or tentorial meningioma. Its presence has been rarely described in the Literature. CASE REPORT: herein we describe the first ever reported case of a vermian subtentorial arteriovenous malformation supplied by the artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger in 70 year old female patient. CONCLUSION: vermian subtentorial AVMs supplied by the artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger are extremely rare vascular malformations. The presence of the artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger must be carefully evaluated during preoperative surgical planning due to its key role in the supply of vascular malformation and to decrease the risk of intra operative bleeding during surgery.
