At Southern California Brain & Spine Surgery, Dr. Moksha Ranasinghe, MD, FAANS, provides specialized treatment for Brain Arteriovenous Malformation, offering personalized care to help patients achieve optimal outcomes, prevent complications, improve neurological function, and enhance their quality of life.
Contact us today to schedule a consultation and explore your treatment options.
Brain Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) is a rare condition where tangled blood vessels connect arteries directly to veins, skipping the capillaries that normally slow blood flow and deliver oxygen. This can lead to poor circulation, increased pressure on the vessels, and a risk of rupture, which may cause serious complications like bleeding in the brain (hemorrhage), stroke, or neurological problems. AVMs can develop anywhere in the body but are most commonly found in the brain and spinal cord.
Brain AVMs often show no symptoms until they rupture, causing a hemorrhage. Other signs may include seizures, headaches, weakness, numbness, vision loss, speech difficulties, or trouble walking.
The exact cause of brain AVMs is unknown, but most develop before birth, and some may form later in life. They occur when arteries and veins connect directly without capillaries, disrupting oxygen delivery to brain tissue and increasing the risk of rupture.
At Southern California Brain & Spine Surgery, we develop personalized treatment plans for Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) to prevent bleeding (hemorrhage) and manage seizures or other symptoms.
The most suitable treatment approach depends on factors such as your age, overall health, and the size and location of the AVM.
Medications can help manage symptoms like seizures and headaches, while neurorehabilitation and conservative therapies support neurological recovery. However, these do not eliminate the AVM itself.
Treatment options include surgical removal (resection), endovascular embolization to reduce blood flow, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to shrink the AVM over time. These procedures aim to prevent rupture and reduce risks.
Pinpointing the cause of your symptoms starts with accuracy. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, relied upon by top neurosurgeons and neurologists, ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. Technologies we use:
