I was born at 23 weeks in 1989. im worried about having a avm because i was a preemie. what are the chances? no history of headaches or anything

AVM: Blood vessel malformations of the brain are rare in the general population and are not related to prematurity. A screening test with an mri/mra of the brain can be obtained to exclude an avm.
