The chance of being born with a life-threatening arteriovenous malformation is only one in a thousand worldwide. Due to the rarity of the neurological disease, it does not appear to be a lucrative area of research. That is why only little new progresses has been made in understanding and combating the causes of the vascular anomalie. After a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at the Charitè Berlin on February 20, 2023, a thirty-year-old Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) patient received the possible diagnosis of an AVM in the cerebellum in the well-known and usual cranial fossa in the brainstem of the choroid plexus after his cerebral hemorrhage in 2011. Without much understanding of the cause of the onset of the disease, the patient received a recommendation for a dangerous, risky and difficult angiographic procedure for the second time. Since genetic and external influences during pregnancy play a role in an arteriovenous malformation, the disease must be viewed not only from an expert neuroradiological and neurosurgical perspective, but also with an all-encompassing familial, medical and histological understanding. Therefore, relevant processes of the patient from his mother's pregnancy to the current point in time were reflected and scientifically combined with diseases of his ancestors. In this literature review, the reason for the rare disease is sought, researched and sensibly combined using seven specialist literatures. A new possible cause for the rare disease was found.
