Arteriovenous Malformations
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) occur when a group of blood vessels in your body forms incorrectly. -
Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery disease occurs when the carotid arteries, the main blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the brain, become narrowed. -
Cavernous Malformations
Cavernous malformations, also called cavernous venous malformations or, when they are in the brain, cerebral cavernous malformations, occur when the blood vessels don’t form correctly. -
Cerebral Aneurysm
A cerebral aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of an artery in the brain. This weak spot raises the risk that the artery wall will burst open. -
Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis
CVST is a rare form of stroke. Infants, children, and adults all can have this kind of stroke. -
Developmental Venous Anomalies
A developmental venous anomaly (DVA) is an arrangement of small blood vessels that may look like the spokes of a wheel and drain into a larger central vein. DVAs also may be referred to as venous angiomas. -
Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations
When veins and arteries don't form correctly and become entangled during development, the result is a condition known as an arteriovenous malformation (AVMs).
