Vascular Malformations in the Brain

Vascular malformations in the brain are abnormal connections between blood vessels, leading to issues in blood flow. These can include arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), where arteries and veins are tangled, and cavernous malformations, which are clusters of dilated blood vessels. These abnormalities can cause headaches, seizures, or, in severe cases, bleeding in the brain. While some individuals may have no symptoms, others might require treatment, which can include medication or surgery, to manage symptoms or prevent complications. Understanding these conditions is crucial for effective diagnosis and care.
