What Can You Tell Me About Cerebral Avm’s?


cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital disorder of blood vessels within the brain, characterized by tangle(s) of veins and arteries. While an arteriovenous malformation can occur elsewhere in the body, this article discusses malformations found in the brain...

AVM (arterio-venous malformation) News... and some stuff on my.

Enact health care reform; it’s the right thing to do

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
I am 40 years old and I have returned to college to pursue a bachelor’s degree in social work after spending 20 years in the culinary field. Unfortunately, the employers of the restaurants I worked in (mostly small business) were unable to provide adequate, if any proper health care.

In 1995 I was diagnosed with an AVM (arterio-venous malformation) and was hospitalized for three to four weeks and underwent two stereotactic...

two new AVM stories....

Ha, so much for the new approach. You see how that worked out. I went even longer than the last time without a post... However, this time I have something to write about. If for no other reason but to get the thoughts out of my head.

On June 25 2009, I got news about Michael Jackson's demise just like many of you. I took that news rather hard because I grew up to Michael Jackson and his brothers in the Jackson 5. Now usually given a few years I would struggle to remember that date. However this date I am sure to remember because not only did Micheal die, but it was the day that I found out that I had a brain AVM which had bled.

Orcas woman undergoes brain surgery

Orcas resident Theresa Howard was rushed to the hospital in Anacortes for a very severe migraine headache on Friday, July 17.

She had been suffering from the headaches for more than a week. Upon arrival at the hospital, she was transferred to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. She was diagnosed with a condition called Arteriovenous Malformation or AVM. It is something she was born with and affects around 300,000 people a year. Most live a normal life and don’t even know they have this abnormality....

I think it's funny that I cannot get a job... I mean a real job... They get one look at what my stroke has done and instantly they will call me (don't call them).

I really pissed me off the first hundred or so times.

I can not believe that the government dose nothing (besides Social Security) for AVM persons... I just does not make sense to me.
I guess we just do not make up a voting block large enough. F&CKERS!
So I welcome you to bid on eBay... it could make my day.

A New AVM Group... TAAF

About Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)

Basic Blood Vessel Anatomy in the Brain

An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood that is high in oxygen and nutrients from the heart to nourish other parts of the body. The walls of an artery are very elastic as they are meant to withstand high pressure as blood is pumped out of the heart. The arteries gradually become smaller and smaller as they get out to the tissues until reaching the capillary bed, which consists of tiny, thin-walled vessels, where oxygen and nutrients exchange with carbon dioxide and waste products.

The blood then continues into the veins, blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart. Normally, as the high-pressure arterial blood is pumped through a capillary bed there is a gradual decrease in blood pressure. The walls of veins are therefore not as elastic as arteries as they are not meant to carry blood under high pressure.

In the brain, the veins drain blood into venous dural sinuses (not to be confused with the air-filled sinuses in the facial bones that are often associated with sinus infections, etc.). Venous dural sinuses are folds in the dura mater (lining of the brain) that collect blood and then drain into the internal jugular veins that bring blood back to the heart...

Soliloquy



It's been raining almost constantly here for two days now. The air pressure is causing head and body aches. I guess I'm gonna have to admit to aging at some point...but not quite yet. There's a lot more going on then just the normal aging process but it's not something I really discuss much. People who know me well know bits and pieces but I rarely just lay it all out there when it comes to my health issues. I've been that way for many years now...intensely private when it comes to sharing that information in any but the most surface of ways. I've been thinking a lot about that recently...thinking about why I'm so tight lipped about it...

Jason Napier, who sought fame before undergoing life-threatening surgery for a bleed on his brain, has had a successful operation.

Napier had said the one thing he wished for before he underwent surgery was to become famous, saying he had always craved the spotlight.

So he set up the Make Jason Napier Famous page on social networking site Facebook, which when he began nearly a month ago, only had about 100 followers...

AVM & me??

From the filmmaker of Life.Support.Music:

I wanted to let you know that my second film, Life.Support.Music., is going to be broadcast nationally on PBS tomorrow night (Tuesday, July 7th). In some areas (LA, Boston, Philly), it's airing on different days next week. You can check your local listing here .

Specifically, the film tracks a fantastic New York musician (Jason Crigler) as he remarkably recovers from a devastating (AVM) brain injury...but I think the film speaks to anyone facing a difficult medical crisis. For more information, here are the links to the PBS site and the film's web site:

Wolf shirt...



Do I have to say more?


Comon... buy one from me... you would be helping a AVM patient.

I had a stroke...

one avm and some bakward stuff...

check this blog out...

What’s the first thing you do when you get a new medical diagnosis? Or even before you get a definitive diagnosis, but you suspect something is wrong? Or someone mentions some illness to you and says you might have it? Or you keep noticing a distinctive symptom?

That’s right; you google it.

The internet can be a dangerous thing in the hands of a fearful patient. The medical community used to keep people in the dark “for their own good” when they had cancer or other life-threatening diseases. The god-like doctors of that era have been replaced with patient advocates and rehab settings where we ask patients what their goals are. So while being informed and educated about your disease can alleviate fears, and help patients feel in control of their health, it can also be very dangerous. Being in the dark has its benefits. In an internet-accessed world with webMD at our fingertips, no one has an excuse to be uninformed about his/her health.

After I had my diagnosis, I still had months to stew, months to wait for my June 21st surgery date. I was at the time working as a preschool assistant teacher. The kids went down for a nap after lunch between 12:40pm and 2:30pm. The lights went down, and the kids actually slept. There was very little I could do, sitting there in the dark. Sometimes we tried to prepare for art projects, but next to the quiet breathing of preschoolers, the sound of cutting construction paper, or sorting beads magnified in the darkness. We had blinds on all the windows, and a black-out curtain on the door; even the bathroom light was off. There was no way to read, to journal, to see knitting stitches – not that I could knit – so I turned to the computer each afternoon.

I learned about my treatment options, the incidence of AVMs, the possible outcomes – favorable and disastrous. While statistics on the prevalence of AVMs vary greatly (from 5 to 613 per 100,000), by some estimates, AVMs are as common as cerebral palsy. Yet no one has ever heard of an AVM. They’re about 1/6 as common as aneurysms, and people have heard of those. I knew it wouldn’t be likely to find an AVM support group in on-line, let alone in person, and I needed to distract myself from statistics such as “4 in 100 people with AVMs will have hemorrhaging strokes in a given year”. I had 2-3% chance of bleeding each year. The mortality rate from a initial bleed is about 10%, and this increases with subsequent bleeds. I needed to stop thinking of my AVM as a time-bomb. I started referring to the potential hemorrhage as “blowing a gasket”, hoping to inject some much-needed levity into the situation. It didn’t work. My mother still couldn’t use the words “brain surgery” to talk about what was happening.

One day, while the children in my care were dead to the world, I found a website hosted on generous bandwidth by the University of West Georgia by a man named Bill Maples. (http://stu.westga.edu/~wmaples/aneurysm.html) This is a data-free site. It is a support network for families, friends, sufferers, and survivors of AVMs and aneurysms. It consists of narratives written by the very same folks in need of support and camaraderie. I latched on dearly. Too many stories ended in the death of a loved one, including young children. Too many stories chronicled the ongoing struggles faced by people discovering new neurological deficits and unending complications caused by the AVMs and aneurysms.

I sat down that May afternoon to compose my own narrative. What follows is an excerpt from my AVM narrative I titled “My Summer Plans”:

School can be both a respite and a dangerous place for my thoughts about my impending surgery. While I’m active, I have virtually no down time, and I have to devote all my energy to the school day of a three- or four-year old. They captivate me from about 7:55am until 12:40pm, and after they’ve all brushed their teeth and used the toilets, they hit their nap mats. They get ready to slide into dreamland for about two hours, and I’m left to my own devices, since comatose children require little or no upkeep. And while I’m here, listening to their soft breath, quiet lullaby music, and the gentle whirr of the computer, my own mind has time to wander. Though my work here allows me to escape the reality that goes beyond the innocent thoughts of a preschooler, I still dip my toes in the Real World. The phone rings and it will be Evelyn from Dr. Zager’s office, scheduling my fMRI. I will scoot by second grade and think about Danny, son of the famous vascular neurosurgeon who will slice into me this summer. And sometimes, all it takes is some idle time in the classroom. Two hours is a long time to read, or work on any project in the dark on 18″ preschool tables. It’s even long to stare at a computer and do mindless e-mailing and google research about foam cheese hats. All I need is to type “AVM” into google, look at my daybook and see some medical appointment scrawled in. It all comes racing back.

I will include more from this narrative in the next post. I would rather include it as “source material” than paraphrase the key plot elements, because it captured the fear and uncertainty of what lay ahead in that moment. I can reflect from the other side of surgery and recovery, but it won’t be as real as it was that afternoon as I sat, crying into the keyboard as I typed in the dark.

One AVM Story... and me...

Perhaps I should back-track and talk about how we arrived at brain surgery as The Choice. All the websites and the research I’d done on AVMs thus far yielded 3 options on AVM treatment: embolization, radiation, or microsurgery. Because each AVM is unique in size, location, and involvement of blood vessels, and because each patient is different in age, ability, and health status, no two AVMs can be approached in the same manner. Some are completely inoperable, while others are relatively easily corrected with little side effects. It all depends. That’s where Dr. Zager came in. Dr. Hart could diagnose me, and even tell me the options that were widely available, but it was Dr. Zager’s expertise that allowed him to look at my MRA and MRI scans and say I needed brain surgery. He also said that embolization would be used in conjunction with the craniotomy.
