Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are the leading cause of stroke in young people. Formed during embryonic development, an AVM is a tangle of dilated blood vessels that disrupts normal blood flow in the brain by pooling blood within its dense center or nidus. These vessels may enlarge over time.
The goal of treatment is to reduce this risk of fatal or debilitating hemorrhagic stroke. Twenty years ago, many patients were told their AVM was inoperable because the risks of treatment were considered too high. Today, advanced open skull surgical techniques, radiosurgery and endovascular embolization make the treatment of AVMs safer and highly effective.
