A member asked:

Upcoming angiogram for brain. to check for avm or narrowing of vessels. or fistula. what symptoms would i have for either condition?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptoms: The symptoms could be quite varied for an aneursym or avm, but would include headache, changes in vision (spots, blurring, transient loss of vision, etc), in some cases, could even cause seizures, weakness of a limb, affected speech, impaired coordination. It all depends in what portion of the brain the lesion is located.
