Arteriovenous malformation in the cerebellopontine angle presenting as trigeminal neuralgia.

A case of arteriovenous malformation of the left cerebellopontine angle causing symptoms of ipsilateral trigeminal neuralgia is reported. Pain relief followed microsurgical removal of the malformation. The authors review the literature on the subject.
