Central nervous system vascular malformations are a group of conditions that involve abnormal blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord. These malformations can be present at birth, or they may develop over time. Types of central nervous system vascular malformations include arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), cavernous malformations, and dural arteriovenous fistulas. Symptoms of central nervous system vascular malformations can vary depending on the location and size of the malformation, but they can include headaches, seizures, weakness or numbness in the limbs, and problems with balance or coordination. Treatment for central nervous system vascular malformations depends on the type and severity of the malformation but may include surgery, embolization, radiation therapy, or a combination of these approaches. It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider experienced in the management of central nervous system vascular malformations to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets individual needs and goals.
