Abstract

Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins via the nidus (a tangle of abnormal vessels) without any intervening capillary network, within the brain parenchyma. Imaging plays a major role in the identification, grading and treatment of AVMs. The diagnostic criteria of brain AVM include a) the presence of a nidus and b) early venous drainage.
