🧠 What Is an AVM? (Arteriovenous Malformation) An AVM is a rare tangle of abnormal blood vessels that directly connect arteries 🩸 to veins — skipping the tiny capillaries that normally slow blood flow. This can create high pressure inside fragile vessels, making them prone to rupture and bleeding in the brain (hemorrhage) 💥 — which can be life-threatening. ⸻ ⚠️ Symptoms to Watch For: • Sudden, severe headache (worst ever) • Seizures 🌀 • Vision problems 👁️ • Weakness, numbness, or paralysis
