A Brain AVM or arteriovenous malformation involves a tangled nest of blood vessels that bypasses normal brain tissue and directly diverts high pressure blood from the arteries to the veins.
What are the Symptoms of a brain AVMs?
Symptoms will vary depending on the severity and location of the AVM. A brain AVM that has bled will have severe, sudden onset symptoms such as headache, vomiting, weakness or even coma. Most brain AVMs that have not bled will cause very few, if any symptoms, or may share symptoms with other medical conditions. In fact, many patients will have no symptoms at all.
Symptoms of unruptured brain AVMs are infrequent, but may include:
- Headaches
- Seizures
- Muscle weakness or paralysis
- Problems with balance
- Unusual tingling or numbness
- Dizziness
- Difficulty controlling eye movement
- Mental confusion or dementia
