Abstract
Brain AVMs are angioarchitecturally and hemodynamically complex systems of arteriovenous shunts with specific neurovascular relationships, a variable and unpredictable clinical presentation and a dynamic and only partially understood natural history, associated with a significant morbidity and mortality.
