This illustration depicts the brain condition AVM,or Arteriovenous Malformation. AVMs are masses of abnormal blood vessels which can grow in the brain. They consist of a blood vessel ''nest'' through which arteries connect directly to veins,instead of through capillaries,as is the norm. This massing of vessels can cause pressure build-up within the vessels,and can lead to hemorrhagic bleeding in the brain,which may in turn cause stroke or brain damage | |
