A patient from Albania traveled to Istanbul to seek treatment for arteriovenous malformation (AVM) at Dr. Kamran Aghayev’s clinic. AVM is a rare condition in which abnormal connections between arteries and veins disrupt normal blood flow, causing symptoms such as severe headaches, dizziness, seizures, and, in some cases, life-threatening bleeding in the brain.
After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Aghayev recommended surgical intervention to remove the AVM and restore normal blood flow. AVM surgery demands utmost precision and expertise due to the delicate nature of the abnormal blood vessels and their proximity to critical brain structures. The procedure was successfully performed, and the patient has since returned to a healthy and active life, free from the debilitating symptoms.
Brain AVM is a condition where abnormal connections form between arteries and veins, bypassing capillaries and disrupting normal blood flow. Symptoms may include headaches, seizures, dizziness, and neurological deficits, with a risk of life-threatening bleeding in severe cases. The diagnosis of AVM often involves advanced imaging techniques such as MRI or angiography to accurately locate and assess the malformation. Treatment options are typically determined based on the size, location, and symptoms of the AVM.
Brain AVM removal surgery involves carefully isolating and removing the abnormal blood vessel connections to restore proper blood flow and prevent complications like bleeding or neurological damage. This procedure requires exceptional precision to ensure successful outcomes. Surgical removal is often considered the most definitive treatment for AVMs, especially when they are accessible and pose a high risk of rupture. In some cases, preoperative embolization may be used to reduce blood flow to the AVM.
