ABSTRACT

Cerebrovascular malformations appear in 3% of the population subjecting it to the risk of hemorrhage, epilepsy and neurological deficits. Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM) have been described since antiquity and continue to represent a cause of high morbidity. Not very much is known to explain the genesis of these lesions, as well as the clinical behavior of many individual patients. We present an updated review of the etiopathogenesis and physiopathology of AVMs, proving that understanding them is important to provide better treatment of affected patients.
