What is cerebrovascular malformation?

summary

Cerebrovascular malformation is the abnormality of the number and structure of cerebral vessels caused by the development of cerebral vessels. The symptoms of cerebral vascular malformation do not often occur, but this disease is more common in young people, the average age is about 30 years old. Cerebrovascular malformation, when there is no disease, patients can not feel it, so, before the onset, it is rarely diagnosed, but once the onset, it will be in a very serious state. If there is no timely treatment, there may be life-threatening, or eventually become a vegetative situation.

What is cerebrovascular malformation?

There are four main types of cerebrovascular malformations: arteriovenous malformation, cavernous hemangioma, venous hemangioma and cystic aneurysm. If it's arteriovenous malformation, the patient can't feel any symptoms before the arteriovenous rupture. However, patients often have other reactions, such as headache or visual impairment. If the blood pressure in the patient's body increases, there may be a phenomenon of vascular rupture.

There is also a kind of aneurysm, which is rare in children. Like the previous one, it is usually ignored before rupture, but it may also have headache or local compression symptoms, especially nerve paralysis. However, most people do not think that it is caused by vascular malformation.

Vascular malformation, the most common one is venous hemangioma, it occurs in the brain. The incidence rate of the older children is relatively high, mainly manifested as seizures, which are relatively rare, but there may also be asymptomatic conditions.

matters needing attention

The last is a cavernous hemangioma. This kind of vascular malformation, like other vascular malformations, does not have any symptoms at the initial stage. It usually occurs in older children or adults. It usually presents as epilepsy, headache, and intracerebral hemorrhage.
