The shape of this malformation resembles that of a raspberry/ These neurological deficits may be headaches, dizziness, double vision, memory issues etc. This is also dependent on the location of the malformation as well as the size of the lesion and size of the bleed.

What effects does exercise have on Arteriovenous oxygen difference?
Arteriovenous Oxygen difference measures the amount of oxygen extracted by the tissues from blood during one trip around systemic circulation. During exercise, cells consume more oxygen, therefore, more oxygen goes from the arteries to the cells and less oxygen circulates in the veins. This means that the Arteriovenous Oxygen difference increases with exercise.
