Yes: Most of them are bening, the problem with these malformation are the complications it could cause like rupture and hemorrhage or thrombosis, this meaning clotting of the blood in those places where the blood flow slows. Visit a neurosurgeon to see evaluate your treatment options which depends on the size and location of the malformations. Look for treatment and follow your doctor recommendations.
