A member asked:
If i had avm since i was born? would i have symptoms by now? wouldn't it have gotten bigger and cause headaches?

AVM: Most AVM don't expand and are in the proportion in the brain. They don't cause headaches. When they bleed, they may cause seizures or stroke like episodes, best to discuss with your doctor.
