MRI of Brain AVM


This sagittal (from the side) MRI image of the brain shows the typical appearance of a high-flow arterial venous malformation (AVM). This is depicted as the rounded area of signal (red), located in the temporal-parietal region. This is a type of congenital brain vascular malformation that can result in serious disability or death. These can rupture (burst) and lead to bleeding inside the head.
