AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation)
Arteriovenous malformation is an abnormal connection between arteries and vein, bypassing the capillary system. This vascular anomaly is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system (usually cerebral AVM), but can appear in any location. Most people are born with AVM, but they can occasionally form later in life as well. And they are rarely passed down among families genetically.
