====== Cerebellar Arteriovenous Malformation Epidemiology ======

[[Cerebellar arteriovenous malformation]]s (AVMs) comprise 10%–15% of all [[intracranial arteriovenous malformation]]s
((Arnaout OM, Gross BA, Eddleman CS, Bendok BR, Getch CC, Batjer HH. Posterior fossa arteriovenous malformations. Neurosurg Focus. 2009;26(5):E12.)).
and this relatively low incidence has led authors to combine them with [[brainstem arteriovenous malformation]] in reports on infratentorial or [[posterior fossa arteriovenous malformation]]s
