Modes of inheritance
No inheritance data available (Orphanet)

Summary

Arteriovenous malformations of the brain are tortuous, morphologically abnormal vascular channels between arteries and veins that lack an intervening capillary network, allowing high-pressure arterial blood from feeding arteries to shunt directly into the venous outflow system. These vascular malformations occur in approximately 15 per 100,000 persons and are a leading cause of hemorrhagic stroke in young adults and children (summary by Nikolaev et al., 2018). [from OMIM]
