A member asked:
Diagnosed with capillary telangiectasia in the brain. this appears to be a better diagnosis than something like an avm or cavernous malformation, with less risk of symptoms or damage. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vascular: The risk of bleeding from a telangiectasia of the brain with or without AVM is about 0.5 per year according to the Journal of Neurosurgery which followed a population of people aged 14 to 66 for a period of time. The bleeds were less with no AVM. The article notes that AVM asssociated with telangiectasia is less of problem than an isolated AVM.
