Abstract
In this study, we present an angiographically occult, calcified intracranial vascular malformation. This lesion is rare and has some therapeutic difficulties and different approaches by authors. In this article, we also discuss the clinical, radiological characteristic features of this lesion. We pay attention on the totally calcified malformation.
