We present the case of a 33-year-old male who was found to have an incidental left inferior frontal Spetzler-Martin Grade 3 arteriovenous malformation (AVM) adjacent to Broca’s area. The patient underwent a planned two-stage preoperative embolization and subsequent microsurgical resection. Ultimately, complete resection of the AVM was observed on postoperative digital subtraction angiography. The patient was discharged home on postoperative day 4. The patient’s transient postop mixed aphasia had fully resolved by time of discharge.
