I have an interest due to my mum being diagnosed with a large brain AVM. She had a pulmonary embolism last week (no known cause) and is currently receiving warfarin and heparin injections. I am concerned that these drugs may not be suitable for an AVM person. She hasn't yet seen a consultant to determine treatment options for the AVM. I also wonder whether the PE could be connected to the AVM.

I was born with a very large AVM on the bottom of my left foot. At birth it was slightly smaller than an egg. At nine months, they operated and attempted to remove it and failed, so when I was two years old, they tried again and failed. There is another large AVM in my left knee, one in my right lower abdomen, one in my right jaw, and one on the back of my skull on the right hand side. During puberty, the AVMs in my left leg and jaw flared and were very painful.

Hi Doctor,I had radiation for my avm this past january,my avm is on my left parietal lobe and is 32 mm in size, Ive never had a bleed thank god and came across it during a cat scan in November of last year,I have always had such headaches but didnt know why,after the radiation I now get sharp pains just above my left ear and this month I am starting to see flashing in my upper left eye when looking out,they come and go besides this dang heartbeat sound I get in my ears all the time.

Hi all as i have been refered to a neurosurgeon i went on the neurosurgey forum on here the international one and posted my sx and asked why they have refered me to a neurosureon, i spoke to a MD on there who said my SX where typical to a cervical lesion maybe AVM or benign like MS tried to google AVM not much come up. any ideas??

It doesn't automatically mean that, but it's possible that you have an AVM. AVMs and aneurysms are fairly similar looking, both being malformations. Though not all malformations of the brain become symptomatic, and the discovery of one does not necessarily demand treatment. It really depends on the risk of hemorrhage to determine if and what treatment should be used. There are a number of options for treatment, if needed, so talk to your doctor about those.

I had an AVM of the face, right behind my right cheek bone, under my eye. I had a coil put in about 5 years ago. I was worried to get pregnant because the MDs told me that if I had gotten pregnant before they fixed it, the increased blood flow in pregnancy could have caused it to burst & possibly kill me. We have been trying to concieve for two years now & I always wonder if I would have another AVM.

I have a very large AVM in the right side/middle of my brain. I had Proton radiation therapy for it in May of 2010. I was curious if it could be a problem with my AVM. I went to the ER and they did a couple CT scans but said there was no bleeding they could see. They sent me home but the numbness spreads more and more. I also have a severe sunburn bc I am fair skinned and am fatigued.

Is it likely that the increase in bloodpressure from my running on the tredmil at the time could have caused the bleed and is it also likely that the level of damage caused would have been worsened by the fact my blood pressure was so high at the time? I fully appreciate that the AVM weakened the viens and arteries etc my question is specific to that exact moment I suffered from the bleed. Thank you in advance.

I was diagnosed having an AVM-(Arterior Vascular Malformation) in my left Cerebellar Hemisphere. The NL told me that I was probably born with it, but I don't understand WHY it hurts. Should it? And..isn't that just cause to be concerned, if it hurts? IT just doesn't feel right. It feels strange like someone has their hand laying on it. It hurts a lot and I don't understand why. Feels like my hair being pulled too.

He said because of the w/d my blood pressure was dangerously high and can put extra pressure on the AVM. He put me on blood pressure meds and a loe dose of vicodin to stop w/d's until we get the MRI results in next week. He said then we could discuss an "appropriate" way to get off the narcotics so he could monitor me. Basically, a long term taper. He also reminded me that I have severe migraines from the AVM. Thanks doc... I remember.

I have a small AVM by optic nerve and Pitutary and my Neurosurgeon said he doesn't think surgery would be a good idea. I want a second opinion so thats were my questions comes into it. Does anyone know of a neurosurgeon that they would recombend? Oh by the way I am a 19 year old girl so that is why radiation would be more harmfull with my whole life ahead of me. If you can help me it would be amazing!! I'm so scared!! Thank you so much!

It was also noted that I had an AVM on the left periatal lobe of the brain in addition to a cavernous hemangioma on the right frontal lobe. My headaches have continued despite the increase of Amitryptaline. Last night I had such a terrible headache I could not sleep. Also there seemed to be a constant auditory humming. This is the fourth headache since Thursday of last week. I ended up taking two Maxalt and some hydromorphone to finally sleep.

This doctor states an avm can spontaneously rupture without any precipitating factor's. Which happens in a majority of cases.However on a theoretical basis .An avm rupture may be precipitated by an increase in venous pressure this occurs in strenuous activities such as (lifting)or (severe coughing spell's)My question is does anyone know if this doctor that's an (occupational medicine specialist) is correct in what he said?

I am reading a lot of your stories, and have to ask if any of your loved ones stroke due to a bleed caused by an AVM? My husband just suffered something similar to a Hemorrhagic Stroke, The AVM in his brain gave way and bled. This was in the motor skills portion of his brain. He slumped over holding his head and screaming in agony, vomited all the way to the hospital. Hours went by before they were able to determine what his condition was, by then they had put into an induced coma.

The oral surgeon confirmed that I was bleeding from the roof of my mouth and that is was AVM. I was pregnant at the time, so he said it may have been due to increased blood pressure. I had a small lump at the roof of my mouth, and that is where he explained the AVM was. He used a laser to cut the growth out of mouth and the bleeding stopped. On my follow up though, I different dental surgeon said I did not have AVM.

There are various criteria whereby a neurologist or neurosurgeon can predict risk associated with an AVM- some of the characteristics associated with increased risk of bleeding include smaller AVM size, exclusive deep venous drainage, and the presence of associated aneurysms . True arteriovenous malformations (AVM's) are by nature, congenital.

They finally discovered that she has a AVM. A surgeon at CMC-Main in Charlotte, NC and a neurosurgeon in Boston, Mass have told her that it is too risky to operate because of the size, and shape, and area that it sits in (over her speech center). Boston had first told her they thought she would be a candidate for the embolization, but the review board turned her down. The only other thing they said they could offer was to place radioactive ions for up to 3 years??

I am a friend of an avm survivor. She is 45 old female, diagnosed her avm 3 years ago. Her avm is 23 mm in diameter and makes pressure on spinal cord at the back of her head where nerves for breathing control and heart are situated. There is an edema 5cm on this part. Please tell me if there are risks for her of having sexual intercorse due to higher blood pressure afterwards. Her heart bites are very irregular and about 100 when taking no medications and about 90 after takin concor. Thank you!

I was just recently diagnosed with an AVM, which I was told is located in the right side of the Pons. I was told that it was in a place that is inoperable, and basically that was it. I suffer from terrible migraines which my neurologist said is a result of the AVM. I am basically trying to find out more information about this and what are some options if there are any?
