Vascular malformations are a type of birthmark or a growth, often present at birth and composed of blood vessels that can cause functional or cosmetic problems. Congenital or acquired blood vessel abnormalities can involve arteries, veins, capillaries, lymphatics, and combinations of these blood vessels.
Normal and abnormal blood vessels A brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain. The arteries are responsible for taking oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain.
Vascular malformations are typically classified by size, location, and type of blood vessels involved, with the four most common being: Cavernomas (cavernous angioma) Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) Capillary telangiectasias (CTSs) Venous malformations (developmental venous angiomas – DVAs)
There are four major categories of vascular malformations based on their flow characteristics: slow-flow (capillary malformation, venous malformation, lymphatic malformation) and fast-flow (arteriovenous malformation).
Definition of malformation : irregular, anomalous, abnormal, or faulty formation or structure.
Eventually, the consistently high-pressure blood flow through the AVM can cause the vessels to expand, potentially causing an aneurysm, a weakened ballooning of the vessel that can rupture and hemorrhage (bleed) into the surrounding brain tissue. This is a form of stroke.
Most brain malformations begin long before a baby is born. Something damages the developing nervous system or causes it to develop abnormally. Sometimes it's a genetic problem. In other cases, exposure to certain medicines, infections, or radiation during pregnancy interferes with brain development.
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.
Tests commonly used to help diagnose AVM include:Cerebral angiography. Also called arteriography, this test uses a special dye called a contrast agent injected into an artery. ... Computerized tomography (CT). ... Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ... Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
“Hemorrhagic stroke from an AVM can happen in young adults," he continues. Symptoms from a brain AVM can vary and include: Seizures. Severe headache (especially with sudden onset)

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. This vascular anomaly is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system, but can appear in any location. Although many AVMs are asymptomatic, they can cause intense pain or bleeding or lead to other serious ...

An ischemic condition of the brain, producing a persistent focal neurological deficit in the area of distribution of the cerebral arteries. In medicine, a loss of blood flow to part of the brain, which damages brain tissue. Strokes are caused by blood clots and broken blood vessels in the brain.
The formation of an area of necrosis in the cerebrum caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. Right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., infarction, anterior cerebral artery), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
