Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. This can lead to various health issues, as blood flows directly from arteries to veins without the usual oxygen exchange. AVMs can occur anywhere in the body but are most commonly found in the brain and spinal cord, potentially causing headaches, seizures, or even bleeding. Diagnosis of AVMs often involves imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans. Treatment options may include surgery, embolization, or radiation therapy to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. Early detection is crucial for effective management and improving outcomes.
