Abstract:
We report the case of a 38-year-old female with alcohol-related cirrhosis who developed a de novo left hemispheric sylvian fissure pial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) causing recurrent hemorrhages, ultimately necessitating neurosurgical intervention. The case underscores the interplay between chronic systemic disease and vascular abnormalities. We explore the theory of de novo brain AVM (bAVM) formation in the context of liver cirrhosis, chronic inflammation and pro-angiogenic conditions thus shedding a light on the potential underlying pathological mechanisms of bAVM formation. This case also highlights the challenges of managing concurrent neurovascular and systemic conditions.

Gross Anatomy of the Liver
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is covered...
Liver Physiology
Metabolic Regulation:
The liver is the central organ involved in regulating blood composition. It stabilizes blood glucose levels, maintaining them within the range of 70–110 mg/dL. When these levels drop, the liver breaks down glycogen reserves and releases glucose into the bloodstream. It can also...
