Pial AVM
**Pial Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)**
Pial AVM, a rare yet severe neurological disorder, involves abnormal connections between arteries and veins on the brain’s surface (pia mater). These tangled blood vessels form a nidus, disrupting normal blood flow and potentially triggering seizures, headaches, cognitive impairments, and even hemorrhages.
Diagnosis employs neuroimaging techniques like CT scans and MRIs, revealing characteristic vascular abnormalities. Treatment options range from conservative monitoring to endovascular interventions (embolization, radiosurgery) or surgical resection.
Managing Pial AVM necessitates an interdisciplinary approach, involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, and interventionists to ensure optimal outcomes. Regular follow-up appointments with a specialized provider are crucial for monitoring and adjusting treatment strategies as needed.

Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Surgery: Comprehensive Overview
Three kinds of surgery are capable of treating an arteriovenous malformation, a tangle of blood vessels that impedes blood flow. An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare, noncancerous entanglement of blood vessels that prevents blood from flowing between your arteries…
