Arteriovenous malformation of precerebral vessels - what does this mean
Arteriovenous malformation of precerebral vessels is a congenital vascular disorder characterized by an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, resulting in an increased flow of blood from the arteries to the veins. this can lead to an increased risk of stroke, aneurysm, and other complications.
What happens during the disease - arteriovenous malformation of precerebral vessels
Arteriovenous malformation (avm) of precerebral vessels is a condition in which a cluster of abnormal and poorly formed blood vessels form a tangle in the brain, leading to the abnormal flow of blood from the arteries directly to the veins without passing through the capillaries. this can cause a disruption of normal blood flow, leading to an increased risk of stroke, seizures, and intracranial bleeding.
