Abstract
We describe a patient with cerebellar and mandibular arteriovenous malformations who initially presented with oral haemorrhage and then subsequently had a cerebellar haemorrhage. This is the second reported case of cerebrofacial arteriovenous metameric syndrome type III (CAMS III) in the literature and we discuss the role of homeobox genes in craniofacial development and angiogenesis.
