Note —S=size of cerebral AVM nidus; E= eloquence of adjacent brain; V=venous drainage pattern. Absence of V (in the form of SE) means this method fails to detect venous drainage pattern. ×means failure to detect intracranial AVM lesion.

*

although TOF grading score was consistent with DSA, high intensity on TOF was caused by methemoglobin instead of AVM.
