A 55-year-old man with no comorbidities presented with sudden-onset holocranial headache, vomiting, and transient loss of consciousness. Examination was normal except for retinal arterio-venous malformations in the right eye (figure, A). MRI brain showed subacute hematoma in the right parieto-temporo-occipital region and frontal horn of the right lateral ventricle. Digital subtraction angiography showed arterio-venous malformations along the right ophthalmic artery and right posterior temporal region, suggestive of cerebrofacial arteriovenous metameric syndrome (CAMS) type 2 (figure, B–D). He was managed conservatively and is asymptomatic at 2 months follow-up. Fundus examination can be a diagnostic clincher for CAMS in adults with intracranial haemorrhages.1,2
