Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) Treatment in Melbourne
What Are Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)?
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins, bypassing the normal capillary network. This can lead to high-pressure blood flow, increasing the risk of rupture and bleeding in the brain or spinal cord. While the exact cause of AVMs remains unclear, they typically develop during fetal growth and are not hereditary. AVMs are non-cancerous but require specialist care to prevent serious complications.
Symptoms of AVM
- Visual disturbances – blurred vision, double vision, or light sensitivity
- Cognitive changes – memory problems, difficulty concentrating
- Stroke-like symptoms – muscle weakness or numbness in one part of the body
- Dizziness and balance issues
- Severe headaches
- Seizures or convulsions
