Three siblings presented with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (cAVMs). This finding suggests a potential genetic predisposition or shared environmental factors contributing to cAVMs in families.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Genetics
- Vascular Medicine
Background:
- Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (cAVMs) are complex vascular lesions in the brain.
- Their etiology is often multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental influences.
- Familial occurrence of cAVMs, while rare, suggests a potential hereditary component.
Abstract:
A family is reported in which 3 siblings, 2 with the same and the third with a different father, were demonstrated to have cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
