Assign code K55.21, Angiodysplasia of colon with hemorrhage, for the bleeding small bowel AVM, not stated as congenital.
Arteriovenous malformation of cerebral vessels. An abnormal connection between arteries and veins characterized by the absence of intervening capillaries in the brain. Signs and symptoms include headaches, bruit upon headl examination, seizures, and bleeding. When bleeding occurs, the signs and symptoms are similar to those in stroke. Congenital...
Q27.30ICD-10 code Q27. 30 for Arteriovenous malformation, site unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, which disrupts normal blood flow and oxygen circulation. Arteries are responsible for taking oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain.
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal, snarled tangles of blood vessels that cause multiple irregular connections between the arteries and veins. These malformations most often occur in the spinal cord and in any part of the brain or on its surface, but can develop elsewhere in the body.
AVMs are usually diagnosed through a combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography. These tests may need to be repeated to analyze a change in the size of the AVM, recent bleeding or the appearance of new lesions.

An AVM puts extreme pressure on the thin and weak walls of the blood vessels. A bulge in a blood vessel wall (aneurysm) may develop and become susceptible to rupture.
The exact cause of cerebral AVM is unknown, however growing evidence suggests a genetic cause. An AVM occurs when arteries in the brain connect directly to nearby veins without having the normal small vessels (capillaries) between them. AVMs vary in size and location in the brain.
Scientists aren't sure what causes arteriovenous malformations. They believe they develop during pregnancy, so you're born with an AVM (they're congenital). Some cases have been reported in people with head trauma or certain infections. Only in rare cases are AVMs thought to be hereditary (run in families).
Arteriovenous malformation – abnormal tangle of blood vessels where arteries shunt directly into veins with no intervening capillary bed; high pressure. Cavernoma – abnormal cluster of enlarged capillaries with no significant feeding arteries or veins; low pressure.
The biggest concern related to AVMs is that they will cause uncontrolled bleeding, or hemorrhage. Fewer than 4 percent of AVMs hemorrhage, but those that do can have severe, even fatal, effects. Death as a direct result of an AVM happens in about 1 percent of people with AVMs.
Along with cerebral AVMs any tumor that is vascular (tangle of blood vessels interconnected) in nature is difficult to remove or treat. It requires a multidisciplinary approach that begins with shrinking the tumor by decreasing the blood supply through what is known as embolization.
On MRI, a typical unruptured AVM appears as a tightly packed or loose tangle of vessels (see image below). The degree of confidence is high with MRI. MRI scans of vascular malformations of the brain are unique and typically diagnostic of cerebral or spinal AVMs, with a high degree of confidence.
