Abstract

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a complex arteriovenous anastomosis with a discernible nidus, though lacking a true capillary bed. AVMs within the central nervous system pose a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. BAVMs have been traditionally thought to arise in utero. Although a small fraction of patients have AVMs present at birth, there is an emerging view that lesions may arise postnatally. There are no data available regarding possible inciting events that lead to a BAVM when acquired [47] or causes of incomplete penetrance when familial. The vast majority (>95 %) are not familial.
