Temporal lobe arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) represent a subgroup of intracranial AVMs with particular characteristics and management issues. ⋯ Temporal lobe AVMs may be successfully resected using a direct microsurgical approach with limited morbidity and excellent prognosis for recovery. Most of the deficits relating to AVM hemorrhage and those of the immediate postoperative period improved significantly over the subsequent few months.
