Arterio Venous Malformations

An arteriovenous malformation  is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels which are connecting arteries and veins, which disrupts normal blood flow and oxygen circulation. Arteries are liable for taking oxygen-rich blood from the guts to the brain. Veins can carry the oxygen-depleted blood back to the lungs and heart. When an AVM disrupts this critical process, the encompassing tissues might not get enough oxygen, and therefore the affected arteries and veins can weaken and rupture. If the AVM is within the brain and ruptures, it can cause bleeding within the brain (hemorrhage), stroke or brain damage. An arteriovenous malformation can develop anywhere in your body but occurs most frequently within the brain or spine. The explanation for AVMs isn't clear. They're rarely passed down among families. Once diagnosed, a brain AVM can often be treated successfully to stop or reduce the danger of complications.
