%X Introduction: <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">arising
deep in the basal ganglia and thalamus encompass a very small fraction of total
cerebral AVMs and are rarely encountered in neurosurgery. The rate of rupture
of these AVMs is very uncommon making our case more thought-provoking. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Case
presentation: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">We present a case of 8-year-old boy with 3 daysĄŻ history of
an intermittent headache with nausea and vomiting. Computer tomographic
angiography (CTA) confirmed right basal ganglia and dorsal thalamic hematoma
with numerous tortuous blood vessels around the hematoma. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">We successfully
treated this child with ruptured deep seated cerebral AVMs using Onyx
embolization with no further neurological deficits.</span></span>
