Where do arteriovenous malformations occur?
AVMs can occur anywhere in the body and have been found in the arms, hands, legs, feet, lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys. However, 50% of these malformations are located in the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord.
What is a vascular lesion?
A vascular lesion is an abnormal growth or formation of blood vessels that can occur in various tissues throughout the body. These lesions can be benign or malignant and may include conditions such as hemangiomas, arteriovenous malformations, or varicose veins. They can vary in appearance, size, and symptoms, depending on their type and location. Treatment options depend on the specific type of vascular lesion and may include observation, medication, or surgical intervention.
Why does the duodenum bleed?
The duodenum may bleed due to various reasons, such as peptic ulcers, gastritis, or vascular malformations. Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the duodenum, often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Gastritis, inflammation of the stomach lining, can also affect the duodenum and lead to bleeding. Vascular malformations, such as arteriovenous malformations or angiodysplasia, can cause bleeding in the duodenum due to abnormal blood vessel formations.
What are the demographics of cavernous malformations?
Cavernous malformations occur in people of all races and both sexes. The male-female ratio is about equal. Family history may be predictive, especially in patients of Hispanic descent.
What are arteriovenous malformations?
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are blood vessel defects that occur before birth when the fetus is growing in the uterus (prenatal development). The blood vessels appear as a tangled mass of arteries and veins.
Where does vasoconstrition occur?
Peripheral vascular system.
What is a type of vascular lesion?
A type of vascular lesion is a hemangioma, which is a benign tumor made up of blood vessels. These lesions often appear as red or purple marks on the skin and can vary in size. Hemangiomas are commonly found in infants and may gradually shrink or disappear over time. Other examples of vascular lesions include vascular malformations and port-wine stains.
What would cause a Cerebral aneurysm with a cracked skull?
A cerebral aneurysm can occur due to a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, high blood pressure, and the presence of vascular malformations. A cracked skull, often resulting from trauma, can lead to increased intracranial pressure or direct injury to blood vessels, which may contribute to the formation or rupture of an aneurysm. Additionally, the trauma itself can weaken the vascular walls, increasing the risk of aneurysm development. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial in such cases to assess brain injury and vascular integrity.
What body system do vascular lesions involve?
Vascular lesions primarily involve the circulatory system, which includes blood vessels such as arteries, veins, and capillaries. These lesions can manifest as malformations, tumors, or abnormalities in blood vessel structure and function. They can affect blood flow and may lead to various clinical symptoms depending on their location and severity.
What are some medical purposes of magic mushrooms?

Can trauma cause vertebral hemangioma?
Vertebral hemangiomas are really verterbral vascular malformations, either venous, lymphatic or arterio-venous. Hemangiomas only occur in infants but are often confused with their cousin - the vascular malformation. And, yes, it is typical for a venous malformation to arise from direct trauma. Since it is in the spinal area the person with this condition should contact one of our medical experts or someone who really knows how to treat these lesions. Boston Children's Hospital has a huge team and they treat adults and children and will review imaging studies for free. They also accept most insurances. You can call and ask for the Vascular Anomalies Program at Boston Children's. Dr. Linda Rozell-Shannon, PhD President/Founder Vascular Birthmarks Foundation
