  Intracranial venous malformations are abnormally enlarged veins in your brain. These enlargements aren’t likely to cause symptoms or affect how the veins work. […] Because you’re unlikely to have symptoms of intracranial venous malformations, your doctor might find that you have the condition during testing for other neurological concerns. […] Doctors usually don’t treat intracranial venous malformations because they rarely cause symptoms. If you have unrelated symptoms, such as headaches, your doctor might prescribe medications. […] Rarely, people who have intracranial venous malformations have seizures or bleeding in the brain (brain hemorrhage). These are usually caused by other vascular malformations that can be found with a venous malformation.

This condition, usually asymptomatic, is often only detected when they show on brain imaging scans ordered for an unrelated problem.

• #4 Venous malformations – UpToDate

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/venous-malformations

  Venous malformations (VMs) are the most frequent slow-flow vascular malformations seen in specialized multidisciplinary centers for vascular anomalies. They result from inborn errors in the development of the venous network, leading to dilated and dysfunctional veins that are deficient in smooth muscle cells. Although inherited forms exist, more than 90 percent of VMs occur sporadically. VMs are present at birth and grow proportionally with the child but may become clinically evident later in life. Depending on their location and extension, symptoms are highly variable and include pain, bleeding, disfigurement, and functional impairment, resulting in significant impairment of quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. […] This topic will review the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of VMs.

• #10 Vascular malformations: what is it, symptoms and treatment | Top Doctors

  https://www.topdoctors.co.uk/medical-dictionary/vascular-malformations

  Patients who have vascular malformations tend not to have any symptoms, and the deformity is found by chance. However, some of the symptoms may include headaches and occasional seizures, although a pattern for these symptoms has not yet been established. Seizures may be partial or total, and the headaches may vary in duration, intensity, and frequency, sometimes being as severe as migraines. The malformations may cause neurological symptoms, including: weakness or muscle paralysis; loss of coordination; vertigo; vision problems; aphasia, or; numbness and tingling. […] Symptoms may appear at any age, although they most commonly start between the ages of 20 to 40 years old. There is more serious type which causes symptoms from birth. This is due to a saphenous vein malformation. It is often linked to hydrocephalous and can cause a heart attack.

  Brain vascular malformations are localized collections of abnormal blood vessels that lead to altered blood flow. While these vascular masses are not cancerous tumors, they can sometimes grow and cause various symptoms. […] In these cases the unruptured vascular malformation can cause symptoms that include headaches, seizures, or stroke-like symptoms, such as changes in ability to think clearly, changes in vision or speech, changes in motor function, or numbness and tingling sensations. […] Symptoms of a ruptured vascular malformation often come on suddenly and include a sudden, severe headache (worst headache of my life) different from past headaches, nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light, weakness, confusion, fainting or loss of consciousness, and seizures.

  Cavernous malformations are like clusters of thin-walled veins in the brain. They can leak blood or trigger seizures. Symptoms can vary, like headaches, seizures, or problems with thinking or moving. If they bleed, it can lead to a stroke or brain damage. Sometimes, these malformations can leave behind lasting problems with thinking or moving. […] Symptoms of cerebrovascular malformations can vary depending on the type and location of the malformation. The most common sign of a cerebrovascular malformation is a headache that can range from mild to severe, but feels different from a regular headache. […] If a cerebrovascular malformation bleeds or ruptures, it can cause symptoms such as sudden, severe headache, nausea or vomiting, and loss of consciousness.

• #19 Can I expect changes in venous malformation due to zero gravity in the body?

  https://www.icliniq.com/qa/vascular-anomalies/could-venous-malformation-show-changes-when-the-body-is-in-zero-gravity

  Venous malformations are common vascular malformation. It consists of small or large dysplastic venous channels. In the majority of cases, these anomalies are asymptomatic and while discovered accidentally, they remain benign. They cause neurological symptoms rarely. Intracranial venous malformations can cause seizures or bleed in the brain (brain hemorrhage). […] We usually do not treat intracranial venous malformation because they rarely cause symptoms regarding your concern about gravity. There are some reports showing that high altitude causes vasodilation and leads to headaches. Gravity affects fluid distribution and pressure within the human circulation. A study shows that over 24 hours in zero gravity, pressure in the brain remains slightly above from what is observed on earth. It causes changes in the retina of astronauts. So theoretically, there is a risk of having increased pressure in the brain. It increases blood flow in venous malformation and leads to neurological symptoms. But currently, research data regarding the direct effect of gravity on intravenous malformation is insufficient and inconclusive.

  https://www.tenderpalm.com/intracranial-venous-malformations-in-pediatric-conditions-treatment-lucknow-india

  Intracranial venous malformations are a type of vascular abnormality occurring in the child’s brain where veins are irregularly formed, causing the blood to flow abnormally, which despite hitting individuals of any age, are considered congenital by symptoms, i.e., they persist during birth and become active later on in life. […] Most children with venous malformations show no symptoms but they yet suffer from some symptoms such as headaches, seizures, difficulty with balance or coordination, and cognitive issues. However, in rare cases, they due to malformation they may suffer from a hemorrhage (bleeding), and may be affected with severe symptoms like vomiting, severe headache, or loss of consciousness. […] If a child experiences unexplained headaches, seizures, or neurological symptoms such as dizziness, vision changes, or weakness, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider. These symptoms may warrant further investigation, especially if they are persistent or worsening.

  https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/vascular-malformations

  Vascular malformations are rare with some types found in less than 1 percent of the population. Many types of vascular malformations dont cause symptoms until they are triggered by such events as adolescence, pregnancy, or some major surgery, trauma or injury. […] These venous malformations tend to be identified later in life; typically, symptoms are triggered by an injury, or physiological changes such as puberty or pregnancy. Sometimes they are found incidentally, during MRI studies for other conditions. Symptoms suggesting a possible venous malformation range from minor aches and pains to recurrent bouts of bleeding, clotting disorders and organ damage, mostly within bones, joints and skeletal muscles. […] Malformations affecting the lymphatic channels may start to cause problems during infancy and early childhood. They can cause pooling of the lymph fluid into cysts or fluid-filled pockets of various sizes. These cysts, in turn, can develop problems such as infection, bleeding and erosion into adjacent organs.

  The case of a young girl with a pericallosal venous malformation associated with multiple cryptic vascular malformations (CVM’s) is described. […] Routine follow-up magnetic resonance images obtained over the past 9 years have documented the development of multiple new cryptic malformations along the radicles of the venous malformation. […] The association of CVM’s with anomalous venous drainage patterns and the role of venous hypertension in the pathogenesis of cryptic malformations are discussed. […] This case suggests that CVM’s associated with a venous malformation may recur and new ones may develop if the venous malformation is not excised, particularly if venous hypertension is also present. […] The likelihood of a surgical cure in these patients may depend on complete excision of both anomalies, which is rarely feasible because of the potentially devastating results of resecting a venous malformation.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/16755-arteriovenous-malformation-avm

  AVMs cause harm in the following ways: Bleeding. The force of the blood flow from your arteries brings a lot of pressure to the AVM. Veins have weak walls and cant always adjust to the pressure of blood flow. If your veins cant handle the blood pressure, they might burst and bleed. Bleeding into surrounding tissue can cause permanent damage. Significant bleeding can result in death. […] Complications of brain AVMs include: Brain bleed/stroke. This is the biggest risk of having an AVM. A bleed from an AVM in your brain causes a stroke, brain damage or seizures. AVMs in these enclosed areas can also press on and displace parts of your brain and spinal cord.

  Cerebrovascular malformations (CVMs) are abnormally formed blood vessels in and around the brain and spinal cord. They may be harmless, but some cause neurological problems because of their size and location, or due to seizures or bleeding. […] Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), cavernomas and aneurysms can all cause bleeding in the brain.

AVMs damage the brain or spinal cord by: […] AVMs affect oxygen delivery to the brain or spinal cord by altering normal patterns of blood flow through the arteries, veins, and capillaries. […] Bleeding into the brain, called intracranial hemorrhage, can result from the combination of high blood vessel internal pressure and vessel wall weakness. […] Massive hemorrhages, however, can occur if the physical stresses caused by extremely high blood pressure, rapid blood flow rates, and vessel wall weakness are great enough. […] Large AVMs can press on surrounding brain or spinal cord structures and cause damage.

  http://www.aans.org/patients/conditions-treatments/cavernous-malformations/

  A person with a cavernous malformation may experience no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they often are related to the location of the malformation and the strength of the malformation walls. The type of neurological deficit is associated with the area of the brain or spinal cord that the cavernous malformation affects. Symptoms may appear and subside as the cavernous malformation changes in size due to bleeding and reabsorption of blood. Any of the following symptoms may occur: […] Seizures […] Weakness in arms or legs […] Vision problems […] Balance problems […] Memory and attention problems […] Headaches.

  There is no typical way in which cavernous malformations (also known as cavernous angioma or cavernoma) affect people. The symptoms, the course of the illness, and its severity can be very different from person to person. […] Seizures are one of the most common symptoms of cavernous malformation (cavernous angioma, cavernoma). Seizures fall into two general groups: focal seizures that are local to one area of the brain and generalized seizures that involve both sides of the brain. All cavernous malformation seizures begin as focal seizures but some progress to generalized seizures. Neurologists use anti-epilepsy medications to control seizures. However, neurosurgeons have had good results in eliminating seizures with brain surgery if they are able to pinpoint which cavernous malformation is causing the seizures. Surgery is most successful when it occurs within two years of a first seizure. Brainstem and spinal cavernous malformations do not cause seizures.

  The symptoms of a cavernous malformation hemorrhage depend on its location and size. Cavernous malformations can cause attention, memory, social skills, mood, and learning problems, particularly if the lesions are in the frontal, parietal, or temporal lobes, or in the cerebellum, even without obvious bleeding. This is particularly true for individuals with many lesions throughout the brain. […] Cavernous malformations in many parts of the brain and spinal cord can cause weakness or numbness in the arms or legs. In some areas, such as the thalamus, they can also cause pain. A cavernous malformation in the brainstem can cause coordination problems called ataxia or can cause facial paralysis, usually on one side. […] Cavernous malformations can cause vision problems. There are two kinds of vision problems: those caused by lesions in the occipital lobe of the brain, which affect how visual information is processed, and those caused by lesions in the brainstem, which affect how the eyes work.

  Cerebrovascular malformations (CVMs) are abnormally formed blood vessels in and around the brain and spinal cord. They may be harmless, but some cause neurological problems because of their size and location, or due to seizures or bleeding. […] Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), cavernomas and aneurysms can all cause bleeding in the brain. This bleeding can cause symptoms such as headaches, seizures, sleepiness and neurological problems like weakness, numbness and difficulty speaking.

  Venous malformations are common vascular malformation. It consists of small or large dysplastic venous channels. In the majority of cases, these anomalies are asymptomatic and while discovered accidentally, they remain benign. They cause neurological symptoms rarely. Intracranial venous malformations can cause seizures or bleed in the brain (brain hemorrhage). […] We usually do not treat intracranial venous malformation because they rarely cause symptoms regarding your concern about gravity. There are some reports showing that high altitude causes vasodilation and leads to headaches. Gravity affects fluid distribution and pressure within the human circulation. A study shows that over 24 hours in zero gravity, pressure in the brain remains slightly above from what is observed on earth. It causes changes in the retina of astronauts. So theoretically, there is a risk of having increased pressure in the brain. It increases blood flow in venous malformation and leads to neurological symptoms. But currently, research data regarding the direct effect of gravity on intravenous malformation is insufficient and inconclusive.

[…] Seizures unrelated to hemorrhage occur as the presenting symptom in 15-40% of patients with brain AVM. These may be focal or become secondarily generalized. […] AVMs produce neurological dysfunction through 3 main mechanisms. First, hemorrhage may occur in the subarachnoid space, the intraventricular space or, most commonly, the brain parenchyma. Second, in the absence of hemorrhage, seizures may occur as a consequence of AVM: approximately 15-40% of patients present with seizure disorder. Finally, but rarely, a progressive neurological deficit may occur in 6-12% of patients over a few months to several years. […] Prognosis after AVM hemorrhage is generally better than that after intracerebral hemorrhage from other causes. Better prognosis may be due to the relatively younger age of patients and a greater potential for reorganization of brain function.

  The symptoms of a burst AVM usually come on very suddenly, this is known as a haemorrhagic stroke. Every patient is affected differently and the severity of symptoms depends on the size and location of the bleeding. […] Symptoms of a haemorrhagic stroke include sudden severe headache with no known cause, drowsiness and/or loss of consciousness and collapse, sudden onset of impaired vision, slurred speech, weakness of the face and arm and/or leg, seizures, sudden onset of dizziness or loss of balance. […] AVMs in the brain occur in approximately 1 in 3,300 people and bleeding from an AVM most often occurs between 10 and 30 years of age. […] Your child’s treatment will depend on their own situation. However, a bleeding AVM in the brain (haemorrhagic stroke) is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention. The goal of emergency treatment is to prevent further complications by limiting bleeding, controlling the pressure of suddenly expanding blood on the brain tissue, controlling seizures (if any) and, if possible, removing the AVM.

  https://www.alliancetocure.org/home/for-patients/newly-diagnosed/20-questions-answered-cavernous-malformation-angioma-cavernoma/

  The symptoms of a cavernous malformation hemorrhage depend on its location and size. Cavernous malformations can cause attention, memory, social skills, mood, and learning problems, particularly if the lesions are in the frontal, parietal, or temporal lobes, or in the cerebellum, even without obvious bleeding. This is particularly true for individuals with many lesions throughout the brain. […] Cavernous malformations in many parts of the brain and spinal cord can cause weakness or numbness in the arms or legs. In some areas, such as the thalamus, they can also cause pain. A cavernous malformation in the brainstem can cause coordination problems called ataxia or can cause facial paralysis, usually on one side. […] Cavernous malformations can cause vision problems. There are two kinds of vision problems: those caused by lesions in the occipital lobe of the brain, which affect how visual information is processed, and those caused by lesions in the brainstem, which affect how the eyes work.

  The case of a young girl with a pericallosal venous malformation associated with multiple cryptic vascular malformations (CVM’s) is described. […] Routine follow-up magnetic resonance images obtained over the past 9 years have documented the development of multiple new cryptic malformations along the radicles of the venous malformation. […] The association of CVM’s with anomalous venous drainage patterns and the role of venous hypertension in the pathogenesis of cryptic malformations are discussed. […] This case suggests that CVM’s associated with a venous malformation may recur and new ones may develop if the venous malformation is not excised, particularly if venous hypertension is also present. […] The likelihood of a surgical cure in these patients may depend on complete excision of both anomalies, which is rarely feasible because of the potentially devastating results of resecting a venous malformation.
