📋Overview
Arteriovenous Malformation is a condition where arteries and veins connect directly, creating a high-flow bypass of the normal capillary network. While these anomalies can appear in various parts of the body, they are most often observed in the brain or spinal cord.
The direct shunting of blood through these malformations can disrupt the standard delivery of oxygen to nearby tissues. Clinical observations suggest that these lesions are generally present from birth, though they may not be identified until diagnostic imaging is performed for related neurological or systemic concerns.
