What is spinal arteriovenous malformation?
A spinal arteriovenous malformation is an abnormal tangle of arteries and veins on or near the spinal cord. The disruption in blood flow causes a lack of oxygen, leading to deterioration of spinal tissues. The malformation can also bleed or put pressure on the spinal cord, causing additional issues.
