Also called: AVM
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are defects in your circulatory system. The circulatory system includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart.

AVMs can happen anywhere, but the ones located in the brain or spinal cord can have effects such as seizures or headaches.
