Headaches or a seizure may signal the onset of a stroke related to arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Other neurological symptoms are possible, including muscle weakness, tingling or numbness and problems with vision, speech or movement. It is also possible to experience no symptoms prior to a rupture in the arteriovenous malformation (AVM).

It’s important to call 911 and get to an emergency room quickly if you think you may be having a stroke. Starting treatment quickly is very important to your ultimate recovery from stroke, whether it’s caused by arteriovenous malformation (AVM) or any other reason.
