Two patients, ages 13 and 14, who presented with papilledema were found to have arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in a report from University College, London, UK. The first child had sustained a kick to the eyes. He had a 2-year history of intermittent headache. MRI showed an unruptured AVM in the temporal lobe. The second had received steroids for juvenile arthritis. Both had increased ICP. [1]
