Intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection of blood vessels, arteries and veins without capillary bed or neural parenchyma. This condition is commonly revealed by seizures, and also intraparenchymal, subarachnoid, and intraventricular hemorrhage. Subdural haematoma is rarely associated with a dural arteriovenous malformation. We report a case of a 53-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency department with sudden loss of consciousness and coma. The brain CT Scan and CT angiography show left frontal intraparenchymal hematoma of 35 X 43 X 25 mm associated with left hemispheric subdural hematoma. The patient completely recovered after decompressive craniotomy followed by the embolization of the nidus.
