Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)

You have been told that you have an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). An AVM is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels within the brain. Over time, pressure can build up and the AVM can rupture (burst). If you have an AVM, you were probably born with it. But most people don't know they have one until a problem occurs. Signs of an AVM include bad headaches, blurred or double vision, and seizures (jerking movements that are out of your control).
